Ingredients
Chicken
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Marinade
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, dried tarragon, garlic powder, and salt. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Marinate the chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, making sure each piece is evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate the chicken.
- Preheat the air fryer: Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and arrange the breasts in a single layer inside the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
- Air fry the chicken: Cook the chicken at 370°F (188°C) for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, flip the chicken breasts over and continue cooking for an additional 6 to 9 minutes, depending on the size of the breasts, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Rest and serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain juices before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts; always check for an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
- Marinating between 30 minutes to 2 hours enhances flavor and tenderness.
- For even crispier edges, you can lightly spray the chicken with cooking oil before air frying.
- Allowing the chicken to rest after cooking helps keep it juicy and flavorful.
