Seasonnement
Rub the olive oil onto the chicken breasts and coat well. In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, herbes 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 an air fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 200 °C (400 °F) for 3 minutes. Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a single layer on the air fryer basket, without overlapping. Cook for 9 to 10 minutes, then flip the chicken breasts. Continue cooking for another 9 to 10 minutes. The chicken breast is cooked when the internal temperature reaches 75 °C (165 °F). Remove it from the basket and let it rest for 5 minutes before cutting to retain all the juices.
