Juicy Air Fryer Herb Chicken Breast

Prepare the Marinade
1 Wash the chicken breasts, then pat them dry with paper towels. Trim away any excess fat.
5 If the breasts are very thick, slice them in half lengthwise so they cook more evenly.
4 In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, Italian seasoning blend, garlic powder, cumin, sumac, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
3 Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and coat well, using your hands or a spoon to ensure the marinade covers every piece.
2 You can cook immediately, or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to overnight) for a deeper flavor.
