Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes to ensure it’s hot and ready.
- Prepare the Honey Mustard Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and Dijon mustard until smooth. Set aside.
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Coat each chicken breast evenly with the honey mustard mixture.
- Coat the Chicken: In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Dip each honey mustard-coated chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure it sticks.
- Air Fry the Chicken: Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray. Place the breaded chicken breasts in the basket, making sure they’re not overcrowded. Lightly spray the chicken with olive oil to help it crisp up.
- Cook: Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).
- Serve: Once cooked, remove from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve your crispy, juicy Honey Mustard Chicken Crunch with your favorite side dishes.
Notes
- For extra crispiness: You can spray the chicken with a bit more olive oil halfway through cooking.
- Flavor options: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the honey mustard sauce for a spicy kick.
- Make it a meal: Serve with roasted veggies, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
