Recipes AirfryerAir Fryer Honey Mustard Chicken Breast
Juicy air fryer chicken breast glazed in a sweet-and-tangy honey mustard marinade — sticky, savory, and ready in half an hour. The marinade caramelizes in the basket for a glossy, flavor-packed crust.
It's an easy, high-protein dinner that tastes like you fussed. Serve it with rice, roasted veggies, or sliced over a salad.
Ingredients
Instructions
Marinate
Whisk the soy sauce, honey, mustard, garlic, ginger, paprika, chives and olive oil. Add the chicken and marinate at least 30 minutes.
Air fry
Place the chicken in the basket (use parchment) and air fry at 375°F for 10 minutes.
Glaze and finish
Flip, brush with more marinade, and cook 8–10 more minutes until glazed and 165°F inside. Rest 3 minutes before slicing.
- Pound the breast to an even thickness so it cooks through without drying.
- Simmer any leftover marinade for 2 minutes to use as a safe drizzle.
- Pull it at 165°F — breast dries out fast past that.
Frequently asked
How long does chicken breast take in the air fryer?
A whole breast takes about 18–20 minutes at 375°F, flipping once, until it reaches 165°F.
Can I use Dijon or yellow mustard?
Either works — Dijon is tangier, yellow is milder. Whole-grain adds nice texture.
How do I keep the chicken from drying out?
Marinate it, cook to exactly 165°F, and let it rest before slicing.
