Savor the Tropics with Air Fryer Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken Breast
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, well-drained)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ginger powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F to get it nice and hot, ready to work its magic.
2. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, mix together the teriyaki sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, and pepper. This flavorful marinade will infuse the chicken and pineapple with irresistible taste.
3. Marinate Chicken: Add the chicken breasts and pineapple chunks to the marinade, tossing to ensure everything is evenly coated. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
4. Arrange in Air Fryer: Carefully place the marinated chicken and pineapple in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they have enough space to cook evenly.
5. Cook to Perfection: Air fry the chicken and pineapple for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
6. Serve and Savor: Once the cooking is complete, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve the Air Fryer Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken Breast over a bed of fluffy rice or with your favorite steamed vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.
Notes
Ensure even cooking by arranging chicken and pineapple in a single layer.
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness at 165°F.
