Notes

This recipe was tested in a Philips HD9252/90 Air Fryer* and a Ninja DZ401 DualZone XL Air Fryer*. Cook time can vary with your air fryer model.

Slice the chicken breast so it reheats quicker, which means it stays juicier
Only reheat as much as you will finish - you don't want to reheat the chicken multiple times
Always reheat leftovers to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for food safety
Want to add seasoning? Do it after the oil, and before air frying.
