Description

A simple and flavorful air fryer recipe for juicy, crispy chicken breasts, perfect for any weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6-8oz each)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dry crushed rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients, except chicken, in a shallow baking dish and whisk together.
  2. Add chicken and coat well so it’s all submerged in the mixture. Marinate for at least 30 minutes; two hours is better; overnight is best!
  3. Preheat air fryer to 360°F for 5 minutes.
  4. Add chicken breasts to the air fryer and air fry at 360°F for 16-20 minutes, turning after 10 minutes.
  5. Remove the chicken and place it on a plate or cutting board to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Notes

For more flavor, consider marinating the chicken overnight. Don’t forget to let the chicken rest after cooking to retain the juices.
