Juicy and tender chicken breasts cooked to perfection in the air fryer, coated with a sweet and tangy honey mustard sauce. A quick and healthy meal that’s perfect for any day of the week.
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of each chicken breast evenly with the olive oil mixture.
Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
Cook the chicken breasts in the air fryer for 9 minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the honey mustard sauce by whisking together the Dijon mustard, honey, and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl until smooth.
After 9 minutes, flip the chicken breasts and cook for an additional 9 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken breasts from the air fryer and let them rest for 3 minutes.
Brush the honey mustard sauce generously over the chicken breasts before serving.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
