Air fryer peach-glazed chicken is a sweet and savory dish that combines the flavors of juicy peaches and tender chicken. Here’s a tasty recipe to make it:
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup peach preserves or peach jam
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)
- Fresh peach slices (for garnish, optional)
- Chopped fresh parsley or green onions (for garnish, optional)
- Cooking spray or oil in a spray bottle
Instructions:
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a bowl, whisk together the peach preserves, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using) to make the peach glaze.
- Reserve about 1/4 cup of the peach glaze for serving.
- Dip each chicken breast into the remaining peach glaze, making sure it’s coated evenly.
- Place the glazed chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving some space between each piece for even cooking.
- Lightly spray the chicken with cooking spray or use an oil spray bottle to lightly coat the chicken with oil. This will help achieve a nice caramelized texture.
- Air fry the chicken at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-18 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through the cooking time.
- While the chicken is cooking, you can simmer the reserved peach glaze in a small saucepan over low heat for a few minutes until it thickens slightly. This will be used as a sauce for serving.
- Once the chicken is fully cooked (reaches an internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and has a beautiful glaze, remove it from the air fryer.
- Serve the peach-glazed chicken with the reserved peach glaze drizzled over the top.
- Garnish with fresh peach slices, chopped parsley or green onions if desired.
Enjoy your delicious and flavorful air fryer peach-glazed chicken! The sweet and tangy peach glaze pairs wonderfully with the tender chicken, making it a delightful dish for any occasion.
