Cook Time15 minutes
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American
Keyword: air fryer
Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Marinade

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth. This will be your flavorful glaze.

Step 2: Coat the Chicken

  • Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel, then place them in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is fully coated. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes (or up to 30 minutes for deeper flavor).

Step 3: Preheat the Air Fryer

  • Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3 minutes. This ensures even cooking and a crispy exterior.

Step 4: Cook the Chicken

  • Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between them for air circulation. Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
