Ingredients

4 medium chicken breasts boneless and skinless

Yogurt Marinade

½ cup Greek yogurt Full fat, low fat, or nonfat
2 tablespoons lime juice I juiced then sliced & placed slices on chicken
1 tablespoon garlic clove minced
2 teaspoons dried basil
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 small shallot sliced
parsley for garnish

Instructions

Add all the marinade ingredients to a large gallon Ziploc bag. Close and shake to combine. Add the chicken to the bag. Marinate for a minimum of 2 hours up to 12 hours. (Try to marinate it for 6 to 12 hours for the best flavor.)
4 medium chicken breasts, ½ cup Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon garlic clove, 2 teaspoons dried basil, ¾ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon dried thyme, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, 1 small shallot
Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees.
Place the chicken in a single layer in the preheated air fryer. You may have to do them in two batches if the breasts are large.
Air-fry for 10 minutes, then flip the chicken over. Air-fry for another 5 to 10 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 155 to 160 degrees. (The temp will rise to 165 after resting.) Be careful not to overcook. (The total time will vary based on the thickness of the chicken breasts.)
Let the chicken rest for 5 to 10 minutes after removing it from the air fryer. Garnish with parsley and serve.

Notes

Serve with air-fryer Brussels sprouts.

To Bake

Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and cook for 20-25 minutes at 375 degrees F, depending on size. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute within the meat, then serve.
