- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix together the Cajun seasoning, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. This helps the chicken cook more evenly.
- Rub the Cajun seasoning mixture all over the chicken breasts, making sure they are evenly coated.
- Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving some space between each piece to allow for air circulation.
- Cook the chicken breasts in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the Air Fryer Cajun Chicken Breast with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
