Making air fryer chicken breasts are definitely one of my go-to dishes – I’ve never had a juicier piece of chicken in my life! I have two ways that I make my chicken and I’m sharing BOTH with you today. Breaded and plain marinated – both ways are delicious!

I’m also on Weight Watchers and it’s great because the points are pretty low (5 for the breaded and 2 for the marinated on Green). I always have chicken in the fridge so that whether I want it for a quick salad or to go with veggies – it’s always right there and only takes 12-14 minutes to cook!

How long to cook chicken breast in air fryer?

Chicken breast in the air fryer is so easy! Depending on the size of your chicken breast – it can take between 12-15 minutes. Some of those chicken breasts you buy are like the size of a car!! I do recommend taking the chicken out a little under temp because it will come up to temp as it rests and you plate the rest of dinner. And if you don’t have a meat thermometer – you should pick one up – an instant read is less than $15!

How do you make healthy chicken breast in an air fryer?

– No breading

Kroger has these marinated chicken breast in a 2 for $5 pack – I buy them all the time! Pop these in the air fryer for 12 minutes at 350 and you’re ready to go! Look at how juicy this guy is! And very Weight Watchers friendly at 2 points for green and 0 on blue and purple! (If you’re a member let me know in the comments – or if you have questions – let me know that too!)

Air Fryer Chicken Breast

– Breaded

Breading and “fried” chicken can be especially difficult on WW – but I found a way around it! First – brush your chicken with either plain fat free Greek yogurt or fat free sour cream. Second – dab it in 1/4 cup of panko. You don’t need much panko and it really gives the chicken a great crunch!

Air Fryer Chicken Breast Recipes

Once you have those perfectly cooked juicy chicken breasts – what are you going to do with them? I have tons of delicious recipes that need a cooked chicken breast and here are a few of my favorite. **OOOH** and if you just need a plain breast – still cook it the same way – it’s so much quicker than poaching or baking!!!!

  • Weight Watchers Chicken Broccoli Casserole
  • Zero Point White Chicken Chili
  • Buffalo Chicken Cheese Fries
  • Copycat O’Charley’s California Chicken Salad
  • Applebee’s Southwest Lime Grilled Chicken Irresist-a-Bowl
  • Panera Mediterranean Warm Grain Bowl

    I love this recipe. It’s easy and quick to make. And my boys love the marinated chicken more than the one with the breadcrumbs. Will surely make it again.

I've found a new fav restaurant! Have you been to Phoenician Taverna in Mason? It's Lebanese food and soooo good! They had something that was just whipped garlic - I could bathe in it! This is the Mezza platter - with little bits and bites of everything! The Labneh and the little empanada thing were my fav - omg - so much yum!!!! ⁣

This is by far the BEST Weight Watchers cabbage soup you’ll ever have! It’s so much more – filled with every vegetable I could think of and I added ground turkey. Two cups of this hearty soup is only 0/1 POINT! (If you’re not on WW – it means it’s super healthy!!!) I’ve been astounded at how much I enjoyed all of these leftovers!⁣
