Marinate

1. Slice each chicken breast horizontally into two thinner cutlets for even cooking, then pat dry with paper towels.

2. Zest the lemon, then juice half of it. Mince the garlic and whisk with the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper and Dijon mustard.

Air Fry

4. Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F) for 3 minutes. Arrange the chicken in a single layer without crowding, working in batches if needed.
5. Cook for 6 minutes, flip, and cook another 5 to 7 minutes until golden and the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
Serve

6. Rest the chicken for 5 minutes, then squeeze the remaining lemon over the top and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Slice and serve.
