How To Make Instapot Air Fryer Chicken Breast
It is very simple to make this delicious chicken. First, make sure that chicken has even thickness throughout. And that the two chicken breasts that you will be cooking together are of similar thickness. That way they will cook in the similar amount of time.
Next, spray the air fryer basket and the chicken with oil spray. Sprinkle with Chicken Rub.
Cook the chicken breasts in the Instant Pot Air Fryer Lid, flipping in the middle. Consult the recipe card below for the step by step process, and air fryer chicken breast time.
Use a Meat Thermometer to make sure that the chicken is done.

Tips For Making Instapot Air Fryer Chicken Breast Recipe
Timing for cooking the chicken will depend on how thick the chicken breast is. If you want to cook it faster, use a meat tenderizer to make the chicken thinner.
Regular air fryers are big enough to make two chicken breasts at a time, without overlap. If you need to cook more than two, cook in stages, two at a time.
You can flavor the chicken differently every time you make it, by using different seasoning. Use Italian Seasoning Mix, Best Fajita Seasoning Mix, or Best Cajun Seasoning for different flavors.
Don’t have an air fryer? You can still make this delicious Keto Instant Pot Air Fryer Chicken! Just fry the chicken on a frying pan or grill it, after you sprinkle it with spices.
