Tender Air fryer Chicken Breast without breading

Have you taken the plunge and treated yourself to an air fryer? Last year we bought an Instant Pot, which both Alan and I have enjoyed using.

This year, we bought the air fryer lid that goes with the Instant Pot. Coolest kitchen tool ever.

Now we can cook up "fried" foods without any grease or splatter. Plus, its really not like cooking with oil. Although you get the same tasty results.

In place of baking chicken, air fry chicken instead, and get the same nutritious results as you do from cooking it in the oven.

Although quite delicious with breading, air fried foods don't always need a breading to get that nice golden color that we love so much.

However, there is a few tips to getting golden and juicy chicken. The key to cooking air fryer chicken with no breading lies in the chicken marinade.

Simple, yet extremely flavorful chicken with fresh herbs, oil, and lemon juice.

I've been baking skinless chicken breasts without any breading in advance to make individual meals to enjoy for lunch.

Not only is it a time saver to have meals ready to go,

The key to tender chicken is to make sure you marinade the chicken in advance. You will want the chicken to soak in the for about 4 hours.

Overnight if you have the time. Head over to this post for a healthy chicken marinade.

Remove chicken from marinade and place in your air fryer basket without overcrowding the chicken. For large pieces you may need to cook them one at a time.

Place lid on and press Air Fry button. Cook at 400°F degrees for 10 minutes, then flip the chicken and cook an addition 5-8 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Instant Pot Air Fryers will beep when it's time to turn the chicken over.

Note that if you don't use my marinade then you will need to coat the chicken with oil or cooking spray.

Remove chicken from Air Fryer and let sit for 5 minutes before slicing, dicing or shredding.

Now that you have a healthy protein to add to your diet, be sure to check out these recipes.

Our Best Air-Fryer Recipes

Sure, feeding a family is no joke, but have you tried cooking for yourself lately? It can be just as challenging (and daunting) to cook up a fast, easy and, most important, delicious dinner for one or two.

Cue the air fryer.

Think of it as a more space-efficient convection oven that slashes the cooking time for comforting dishes like pork chops, roasted vegetables and even cheesecake. Fans already understand its appeal, as illustrated by the legions of Facebook groups dedicated to exchanging tips, tricks and recipes. (Over 25 million air fryers were sold between the start of 2020 and end of 2021, according to the NPD Group, a global market analysis company.)

Below are 12 recipes — some of which I had the pleasure of developing — that require very little prep time and result in a tasty meal for one or two. And, not only are they perfect for air fryer newbies and power users alike, they will, perhaps, convert even the biggest skeptics.

Though they're cooked in an air fryer, which runs at very high heat, these boneless pork loin chops don't dry out, staying moist through and through. Even better? The crackly crust from a brown sugar, salt and spice blend that seasons the pork chops ahead of time. Air fryers work wonders with dry spices, so feel free to experiment beyond the cumin and coriander here. A pinch of crushed fennel or red-pepper flakes would be a welcome addition.

Nearly 2,000 five-star ratings don't lie: Readers love this Melissa Clark dish, in which balsamic vinegar reduces and combines with soy sauce and lime juice for a gorgeous, glossy sauce that drapes over air-fryer-crisp brussels sprouts. The next time you want an impressive side dish of roasted vegetables, give this recipe a whirl.

Could this be the easiest chicken breast recipe on our site? It's possible! It borrows from Eric Kim's near-scholarly knowledge on the topic of chicken breasts, and uses brown sugar and salt to draw out moisture. Cook off any of the vegetable recipes on this list while the breast rests, and you'll have a complete meal in under 30 minutes.

Did the words "air-fryer cheesecake" just give you a brain freeze? It may not immediately make sense, but it is possible to bake a gorgeous cake in the air fryer, using a smaller springform pan or cake insert that fits into the device's basket. This recipe, from Rebecca Abbott and Jennifer West (and adapted by Christina Morales), gained a lot of attention this year, and it was the most shared recipes on the New York Times Cooking Instagram account.

Smothered in sour cream and rice vinegar before they cook, these chicken thighs still manage to brown beautifully and crisp up in record time. You could, of course, make a single thigh for a quick, easy dinner. Or, you could cook off as many thighs as can fit in the basket: They make excellent leftovers.

Is this the platonic ideal of bacon? At the very least, it comes close. Whether you're cooking bacon for one or two, or just over making it in a fat-filled skillet, this recipe takes advantage of how the air fryer seamlessly drains fat and even works with frozen bacon — no thawing required.

French fries have been attributed with catapulting the air fryer's popularity: The machine uses significantly less oil and reduces the cooking time (and mess) compared with traditional frying, making it especially ideal to cook fries. This Melissa Clark recipe is flexible enough that it can be easily doubled, but, depending on the size of your air fryer, you may have to cook the fries in batches.

Homemade chicken wings have the potential to please a crowd, but they come with their fair share of hurdles (a large fry setup, a long time in the oven). But Melissa Clark has you covered with these air-fryer spicy chicken wings, which get a jolt from a chile-based sauce. The recipe borrows a tip from Ben Mims's cookbook "Air Fry Every Day": tossing the wings in baking powder before transferring them to the air fryer means that they come out perfectly puffed, crunchy and browned.

For some recipes, the only rules are that there are no rules. Take the notes left on this endlessly flexible one, for example: One reader added a dollop of Dijon, while another tossed the green beans with honey and dried thyme. And guess what? Both worked. As with most air fryer recipes, the timing may vary depending on the size of your air fryer basket but regardless, cook this recipe to your taste or with whatever reflects your mood.

Recipe: Air-Fryer Green Beans

These crispy potatoes are the perfect accompaniment to any main dish and can easily be executed in the time it takes to rest, say, your air fryer pork chop or chicken breast (see above). Even without any parboiling, the centers turn wonderfully creamy. And, if you don't have dried or fresh parsley on hand, any chopped fresh herb or spicy seasoning like cayenne could work deliciously here.

Lighter than their deep-fried counterparts, sweet potato fries made in an air fryer lean toward the creamier side while staying crispy and charred in each bite. Swap out the paprika for any other spice that's singing to you: Chaat masala, sumac or any sort of fresh cut herbs would work beautifully.

Here's another choose-your-own-adventure recipe. Broccoli is tossed with olive oil and soy sauce, but you can go in any direction from there: Add a whisper of fish sauce for some umami, or some chile crisp for heat and flavor. Or make a double batch of this recipe for those times when your body craves greens. (You know those times.)
