Air Fryer Moroccan-Spiced Chicken Fillet
Air Fryer Moroccan-Spiced Chicken Fillet is a bold, protein-packed dish that’s quick to prepare and bursting with warm, vibrant flavors. This vibrant spiced chicken brings tender, crispy fillets to your table with ease.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken fillets about 1 lb/450g, trimmed and patted dry
- 2 tbsp 30ml extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp 6g ground cumin
- 1 tsp 3g smoked paprika
- 1 tsp 3g ground coriander
- 1 tsp 3g garlic powder
- 1 tsp 3g onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat Air Fryer
- I preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking and a crispy exterior.
Prepare Spice Mixture
- In a medium bowl, I combine 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tsp cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp coriander, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper, mixing until smooth.
Coat Chicken
- I add 2 chicken fillets to the spice mixture, coating them thoroughly with tongs or my hands to ensure bold flavor in every bite.
Cook Chicken
- I place the coated fillets in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t overlap. I cook for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Rest and Serve
- I remove the fillets, let them rest for 5 minutes to seal in juices, then slice and serve hot.
Notes
- Adjust spices according to preference.
- Serve with a side of vegetables or rice.
