Follow these easy steps to create your Air Fryer Chicken Salad:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a crispy texture.
2. Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken breasts to ensure they are well-coated.
3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for about 5 minutes.
4. Cook the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the air fryer basket. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
5. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps retain its juices.
6. Slice the Chicken: After resting, slice the chicken into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.
7. Prepare the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber. Toss to mix.
8. Add the Chicken: Top the salad with the sliced chicken.
9. Dress the Salad: Drizzle your choice of dressing over the salad. Toss gently to combine all the ingredients.
10. Serve: Plate the salad and enjoy your delicious Air Fryer Chicken Salad!
