Chicken
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¾ teaspoon onion powder
Honey Balsamic Glaze and Marinade
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 4 cloves garlic minced, or 2 teaspoons
Instructions
- Pat dry 2 chicken breasts. Place the chicken in between two sheets of parchment paper, then pound the chicken to make it an even thickness with a meat pounder.
- Mix together the paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Then rub seasonings on chicken breasts.
- In another small bowl make the glaze. Combine ketchup, honey, balsamic vinegar, and minced garlic.
- Add chicken to a resealable plastic bag with half of the glaze, refrigerate and marinate for at least 2 hours.
- When the chicken is ready, preheat the air fryer at 400 °F for 5 minutes.
- Place the chicken in the basket and air fry at 380˚F/193˚C for 12 minutes, flipping chicken and brushing on remaining glaze halfway through cooking.
- Make sure the chicken registers at 165 °F before enjoying! You can also pull out the temperature around 160 °Fand cover it in foil to let it come to temperature.
