Description
Air Fryer Honey Dijon Chicken Breasts are perfect for dinner, or sliced into a salad or on a sandwich. The honey mustard sauce provides a delicious flavor and the air fryer cooks the chicken perfectly.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts (boneless skinless)
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 2 Tablespoon dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Step: In a medium bowl, add olive oil, dijon mustard, honey, tarragon, garlic powder, and salt. Stir to combine.
- Step: Add chicken breasts to marinade and mix so that chicken is evenly coated. Cover with plastic wrap and set in the fridge to marinade for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
- Step: Remove chicken from the refrigerator, place in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Step: Air fry at 370 degrees F for 10 minutes, then flip and cook for another 6-9 minutes for smaller breasts (see note below about cooking times).
- Step: Once chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees F, remove from the air fryer basket and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Notes
The size and thickness of the chicken breast will make a huge difference in cook time. A smaller chicken breast may cook in 16-19 minutes, while a large chicken breast may cook between 20-28 minutes. Chicken should be cooked until at least 165 degrees F to be safe. All air fryers cook differently.
