Help! Why does my chicken breast turn out tough in the air fryer?

[Mhal_Lee]

Help needed! My air fryer chicken breast always turns out tough. What am I doing wrong? Any advice would be super appreciated!

Try cooking at a lower temperature and checking the internal temperature with a meat thermometer. Overcooking is often the culprit for tough chicken breast. Aim for an internal temperature of 165°F for juicy results.

Your chicken breast might turn out tough if it's overcooked or not pounded to an even thickness; try adjusting the cooking time and temperature for more tender results.
