This Air Fryer Maple Glazed Chicken Breast recipe offers a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors, combining tender chicken with a sticky maple syrup glaze. It’s a quick, healthy dish ideal for busy weeknights, delivering juicy and flavorful chicken using an air fryer.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 chicken breasts

Maple Glaze

  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) to ensure even cooking and to create a crispy exterior on the chicken.
  2. Prepare the Maple Glaze: In a mixing bowl, combine the maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to create a smooth marinade with balanced sweet and savory notes.
  3. Coat the Chicken: Thoroughly coat each chicken breast with the maple glaze mixture, making sure to cover all sides for maximum flavor.
  4. Air Fry the Chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 12-15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), flipping halfway through for even cooking.
  5. Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken breasts from the air fryer and let them rest for 3-5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute. Slice and serve garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • For best results, use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is perfectly cooked.
  • If your air fryer is small, cook the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  • Adjust the soy sauce amount for a lower sodium option or substitute with tamari for gluten-free.
  • You can add fresh rosemary or thyme to the glaze for extra flavor variations.
  • Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
