Instructions

In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, thyme, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel to help the rub stick better. Brush the seasoning mixture on both sides of the chicken.
Preheat the air fryer to 375℉ for 5 minutes. Place the chicken in a single layer in the basket and cook for 10 minutes.
Flip the chicken over and continue cooking for another 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165℉.
Remove the chicken and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing to retain the juices.

Notes

Allow the chicken to rest after cooking to enhance juiciness.
Feel free to use fresh herbs instead of dried for a more vibrant flavor.
Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
