INGREDIENTS FOR CHICKEN BREAST IN NINJA FOODIChicken Breasts - Choose boneless, skinless chicken breast to cook in the Ninja Foodi with this recipe. Lemon Juice - You want to use juice that is freshly squeezed from a lemon. No need to measure, just use as much juice as you get from one medium to large lemon. Lemon Zest - Prior to squeezing the lemon, remove the zest from the outside with a microplane. Sea Salt - I like to use sea salt rather than regular table salt. It's flaky and more flavorful. Black Pepper - Freshly ground if you can. Garlic Powder - I put this on everything! It's particularly delicious on chicken and adds tons of flavor. Dried Basil - I love the herbal flavor this gives. Swap it out for your favorite dried herb if you prefer something different. Garnishes - While not required, a nice garnish always makes a plate look better. Use fresh basil and lemon slices.

These numbered steps match the numbered photos above and are for illustration purposes. For the complete list of ingredients and instructions for Ninja Foodi Chicken Breast, please see the recipe below. NINJA FOODI CHICKEN BREAST TIPS AND TRICKSOnly Cook Two at a Time - Four chicken breasts won't fit in the Ninja basket in a single layer. Cook only two at a time so that you get proper air circulation. Let Them Rest - Allowing chicken to rest after cooking allows the juices which have moved to the outside of the meat to return to the center. If you don't allow it to rest, the chicken breast will lose that moisture when you cut into it, and be dry. Marinating is Optional - If you allow the chicken breast to marinate in lemon juice you will get a zestier, lemon flavor. If you don't have time to do that, it will still taste amazing. Take a Shortcut - Lemon Pepper seasoning can be used in place of the seasonings called for her. Use two tablespoons of pre-made lemon pepper seasoning to season this recipe. WHAT TO SERVE WITH NINJA FOODI CHICKEN BREASTThis versatile chicken breast is great for meal prep. Slice and place in containers with some of this Mediterranean Chickpea Salad for a healthy lunch.

Just let them cool a bit after they are done cooking, then use two forks to shred them up.

You could substitute with lime juice instead though. For the other seasonings, feel free to use any that appeal to you. Chicken breast is delicious with all sorts of flavors. HOW LONG DOES A CHICKEN BREAST TAKE TO COOK IN A NINJA FOODI?Twenty minutes is the right amount of time to cook two chicken breasts in the ninja foodi. Be sure to check for doneness by checking the internal temperature with a meat thermometer. Chicken is done when the internal temperature is 160°F/74°C. HOW LONG WILL AIR FRIED CHICKEN LAST?Store any leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
