Ingredients

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup ranch dressing or other creamy dressing of your choice
salt
pepper

Instructions

Place chicken breasts into a resealable plastic bag. Use a meat mallet (or rolling pin) to gently pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. About 1/4 - 1 /2 inch thick.
Pour dressing into the resealable bag. Seal the bag and rub the dressing into the chicken to make sure it's completely coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Place chicken breasts into air fryer basket. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Cook at 375 degrees for 6 minutes. Turn chicken and cook for another 5 - 6 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 160 degrees. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving. It will continue cooking during this time. Chicken is done when it registers 165 degrees.

Notes

Chicken is considered cooked through when a meat thermometer registers 165 degrees.

Depending on the size of the chicken breast, you may need more or less cooking time. I used medium sized chicken breasts that were about 8 ounces. Small chicken breasts (under 8 ounces) will take less time. Chicken breasts over 8 ounces can take up to 15 to 20 minutes.
