Seasoning
For the olive oil over the chicken breasts and rub well to coat. In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, herbs de Provence, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if desired. Uniformly sprinkle this spice mixture over both sides of the chicken breasts. Massage well so that the spices adhere.
Cooking in Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 200 °C (400 °F) for 3 minutes. Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, without overlapping.
