Notes

If you do not have the McCormick seasoning- You can use half garlic powder and half onion powder.

Chicken Breasts- you can buy the already thin cut chicken breasts or you can take a thick chicken breast- cut in half and use a mallet to beat down the chicken to about ¼ -1/2 in thick. This allows for the chicken to cook through quickly and evenly

If you do not have an air fryer- you can use your Oven. bake at 350F for 20-25 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
