Ingredients

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (any size is fine, just check for doneness with an instant read thermometer)
⅓ cup Italian dressing or marinade (we like Ken's Italian with aged Romano Cheese)
2 teaspoons rotisserie chicken seasoning homemade or store-bought (more or less to taste)

Instructions

Place the chicken breasts in a zipper bag. Pour the Italian dressing or marinade over the chicken, seal and refrigerate for 4 hours or up to 12 hours.
When ready to cook preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 5 to 6 minutes. Spritz the air fryer basket with oil.
Remove the chicken from the marinade allowing any excess to drip back into the bag. Discard the marinade. Season both sides of the chicken with the rotisserie seasoning.
Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are not touching or overlapping for even cooking.
Slide the basket into the air fryer and cook the chicken at 400°F for about 12 to 13 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
To ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly, use a meat or instant read thermometer to measure the internal temperature. The chicken should reach 165°F to be safe to eat. If it's not fully cooked, return it to the air fryer and cook for another minute or two.
Once the chicken reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the air fryer and let it rest for a couple of minutes. This resting period helps the juices redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful chicken.

Notes

Substitute boneless chicken thighs if desired and cook to an internal temperature of 175 degrees F.
