Instructions
In a large bowl: add water, salt and stir until dissolved. Pound the thickest part of the chicken breast until it is level (this will help to cook evenly). Place the chicken breasts in the bowl with water from previous step. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Once complete, remove the chicken and pat dry with a paper towel. Discard the water.
Create the seasoning by combining the onion, garlic, paprika, and oregano in a small bowl. Season the chicken breasts with the seasoning mixture. Rub well until evenly coated.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Coat the bottom of the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place chicken breast(s) in the air fryer. For best results, use olive oil cooking spray.
Air Fry for 9 minutes (make sure to flip after 5 minutes). Transfer the breasts to a plate and tent with aluminum foil until ready to serve. (Depending on the size of your air fryer: repeat the last two steps as necessary)
