Air fryer chicken fillet with lemon and pepper

This air fryer chicken fillet with lemon and pepper is exactly what you need on a busy day. The air fryer makes the chicken fillet tender on the inside and golden brown on the outside in fifteen minutes, whilst fresh lemon and coarsely ground pepper give the dish a vibrant flavour. Hardly any washing up, maximum results.

For Phase 1, this is an ideal choice, as chicken fillet delivers plenty of high-quality protein with barely any carbohydrates. That combination keeps you satisfied for longer and fits seamlessly within a protein diet where you want to keep your intake tight. The lean meat supports your muscles without adding unnecessary calories, so you can get through this phase with ease.

Lovely with a fresh cucumber salad or a handful of steamed green beans for extra veg on your plate.

Zo maak je het

  1. Rub the chicken breast with olive oil, lemon zest, thyme, pepper and salt.
  2. Preheat the air fryer to 180 degrees.
  3. Place the chicken breast in the basket and cook for 14 minutes at 180 degrees, turning halfway through.
  4. Check that the meat is cooked and leave to rest for 2 minutes.
  5. Squeeze the lemon juice over it and serve immediately.

Bewaren

Store the cooked chicken fillet covered for up to 2 days in the fridge. It's equally delicious served cold on a salad.

Variatietips

Try replacing the thyme with rosemary or add a pinch of paprika powder for a warmer flavour. A clove of garlic in the marinade makes it just a little bit spicier.
