How To Make Air Fryer Chicken Breast Caesar Salad
You’re going to be craving a salad after reading these simple instructions!
Step 1: Put the chicken in the air fryer basket
Place a piece of chicken breast in the air fryer basket. Be sure to spray olive oil on the bottom of the basket first so that the chicken breast doesn’t stick.
Step 2: Season
Next, sprinkle both sides of the chicken breast with garlic salt.
Step 3: Cook
Place the air fryer basket in the air fryer. Set your temperature to 380 and cook for 8 minutes. While the chicken breast is in the air fryer, build your salad.
Step 4: Build your salad
Start by adding your spinach or romaine lettuce.
Add your parmesan cheese and the Caesar dressing. Use sparingly.
Step 5: Cut the chicken
Once the chicken breast has cooked through in the air fryer, dice it into bite-sized pieces.
Top your salad with the chicken breast and enjoy!
How do you know when chicken is cooked and safe to eat?
The best way to make sure that chicken is cooked all the way through is to use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken.
If the reading shows at least 165 degrees, the chicken is done cooking and is safe to eat.
How do I stop the chicken from drying out in the air fryer?
The best way to retain moisture in your chicken when cooking it in the air fryer is to cook it whole, and then cut it into pieces after it’s cooked!
Can you save leftover caesar salad?
You can, but I would eat it within 1 day for the best flavor and taste. This is why it’s also important to go light with the dressing when you’re adding it so that it won’t make the whole salad soggy.
