Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Instructions
- Add the oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, dijon, Italian seasoning, and salt to a mixing bowl and whisk well to combine.
- Add the chicken to the marinade and toss to coat.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
- Drain the marinade from the chicken. Arrange the chicken in a single layer in an oiled air fryer basket.
- Air fry at 380 degrees for 12 minutes or until chicken reaches 165 degrees internally.
Discard any excess marinade. If you'd like to use it as a glaze, you must boil it rigorously for at least 5 minutes to kill any harmful bacteria. This will reduce the consistency as well.
Notes
This recipe also works well with chicken thighs or even drumsticks. Boneless, skinless thighs will cook for the same amount of time. Drumsticks are best cooked at 400 degrees to crisp up the skin. Cook for 20 minutes.
