Easy Air Fryer Apricot Glazed Chicken Breast Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons apricot preserves
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger paste (such as Gourmet Garden™)
• 0.5 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
• 2 (8 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Combine apricot preserves, ginger paste, and rosemary in a small bowl. Microwave for 20 seconds to soften the preserves for easy spreading.
2. Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness, then pat them dry with a paper towel. Lightly coat with oil, then season generously with salt and pepper.
3. Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray and arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer.
4. Air fry the chicken for 4 minutes. Flip and rotate the chicken's position in the basket. Brush generously with the apricot glaze. Continue air frying until the chicken is cooked through, about 8 to 12 minutes, ensuring internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
5. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, loosely covered with foil. Slice the chicken breasts and serve immediately for the best flavor.
