- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- Prepare the Chicken:
- In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Season both sides of each chicken breast with the spice mixture.
- Wrap with Bacon:
- Wrap each chicken breast with 2 slices of bacon, making sure to cover as much of the chicken as possible. You can secure the bacon with toothpicks if needed.
- Air Fry:
- Lightly brush or spray the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts with olive oil or cooking spray. This will help the bacon crisp up.
- Place the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between each piece for air circulation.
- Air fry at 380°F (190°C) for 18-22 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time, until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
- Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
