Let’s Get Zesty

Juicy, tender chicken breasts seasoned with rosemary and thyme and coated in a sweet and tangy maple-Dijon glaze. The combination of the rich maple syrup and zesty Dijon mustard creates a mouthwatering glaze that caramelizes beautifully in the air fryer, giving you a flavorful and satisfying meal in no time.

Selecting Chicken

Fresh chicken should have a pinkish color. Avoid cosmetic damages, such as bruising or tears in the skin, which can affect the chicken's quality and freshness. Chicken should also be plump; when you press it, the meat should be somewhat resilient, resuming its shape after a few seconds.

Ingredient Swaps

Feel free to swap the apple cider with more maple syrup or regular apple juice. You can also swap the chicken breasts with boneless skinless chicken thighs; just increase the cooking time to 16 minutes, or cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

What to Serve with Maple Dijon Chicken Breast: Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries, Air Fryer Chili Crisp Roasted Potatoes, Air Fryer Dinner Rolls, Air Fryer Rosemary Focaccia, Air Fryer Crispy Parmesan Potato Wedges, Air Fryer Crispy Chickpeas and Kale Salad

PREPPING AND COOKING CHICKEN

1. Place the crisper plate into the air fryer basket.
2. Select the Preheat function, then tap Start/Pause.
3. Combine the salt, pepper, paprika, rosemary, and thyme in a small bowl.
4. Spray the chicken breasts with olive oil spray, then season both sides with spice mixture.
5. Place chicken onto the preheated crisper plate.
6. Select the Air Fry function, adjust temperature to 425°F and time to 12 minutes, then tap Start/Pause.
7. Combine the Dijon mustard, maple syrup, minced garlic, and apple cider in a small bowl, then transfer half into a separate bowl and set aside.
8. Brush the chicken with half of the glaze halfway through cooking, flip chicken over, and brush with more glaze.
9. Remove chicken when fully cooked and golden brown.
10. Rest the chicken for 5 minutes before slicing and serving with the reserved glaze.

Chef Notes: This chicken dish brings forward fall flavors such as rosemary, thyme, maple, and apple cider. It is comforting, yet still light. This dish is best served warm, but you can also meal prep it for the week to enjoy with your favorite fall vegetables.
