Air Fryer Yogurt Marinated Chicken is a delicious and healthy recipe that combines the tenderness of yogurt-marinated chicken with the convenience of an air fryer. Here’s a simple recipe you can try:
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- In a bowl, whisk together the yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Place the chicken breasts in a ziplock bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the chicken is well coated with the marinade. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to marinate. The longer it marinates, the more flavorful the chicken will be.
- When you’re ready to cook, preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off, and place the chicken breasts in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook the chicken in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Cook the chicken in the air fryer for about 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time. The chicken should be golden brown and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes. This will help retain its juices and make it more tender.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired, and serve the air fryer yogurt-marinated chicken with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a salad.
Enjoy your flavorful and juicy air fryer yogurt-marinated chicken!
