Air Fryer Honey Dijon Chicken Breasts 

This recipe brings tangy honey‑Dijon goodness to juicy chicken breasts—quick, flavorful, and beyond simple. After marinating in a bright mixture of Dijon mustard, honey, garlic powder, dried herbs, olive oil, and salt, chicken breasts air-fry to succulent perfection with minimal fuss. It’s perfect for dinner, slicing into salads or sandwiches, or meal‑prep protein. Ready in about an hour (including marinating), it gives you tender, caramelized chicken with a sticky glaze and rich flavor that rivals takeout.

Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 1 teaspoon dried tarragon (or parsley, thyme, oregano)
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt 

Directions

1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, tarragon, garlic powder, and salt to form the marinade.
   
   

2. Add the chicken breasts, coat thoroughly, then cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
   
   

3. Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (≈190°C). Place chicken breasts in a single layer in the basket.
   
   

4. Air-fry for about 10 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 6–9 minutes until the thickest part reaches 165°F (74°C). Smaller breasts may finish around 16–19 minutes; larger ones could take up to 28 minutes—adjust accordingly.
   
   

5. Remove chicken and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving. This helps keep it juicy and flavorful.
