Ingredients

1 Cooked chicken breast

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees F.
Place leftover chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overlapping each other.
Air fry for about 5 minutes until warmed thoroughly or until an internal read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken breast reads 165 degrees F.

Notes

Reheating time depends on the size of your chicken breasts and type of air fryer you own. Small basket air fryer reheats food faster than large basket one (the one you can fit 3-4 breasts in, in a single layer). Here is a general guideline:

Small-medium cooked chicken breasts - 4-5 minutes.
Large-extra large cooked chicken breasts - 5-6 minutes.

The rule of thumb is to open the basket and check on the meat at 4 minute mark.
