Can I use frozen chicken breast?

It is best to thaw the chicken completely before air frying to ensure even cooking and better seasoning adherence.

How do I prevent the chicken from drying out?

The key is using a meat thermometer and letting the chicken rest for 5 minutes after cooking.

Do I need to preheat the air fryer?

Preheating for 3 minutes is recommended for a better sear, but it is not strictly necessary.

Is this recipe dairy-free?

Yes, this recipe is naturally dairy-free as it uses olive oil instead of butter.

Can I meal prep this for the whole week?

Yes, but for the best flavor, we recommend prepping for no more than 3-4 days at a time. Pair it with our No Cook Mason Jar Salads for a fresh daily lunch.
