Instructions
- Prepare the chicken by patting dry and pounding to an even thickness. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Make the glaze by combining maple syrup, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard in a saucepan. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the basket and place the chicken inside without overcrowding. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flip, then cook for another 5-7 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let rest for 3-5 minutes.
- Brush the thickened glaze over each chicken breast and return to the air fryer for an additional 2-3 minutes until sticky and caramelized.
- Allow to rest briefly before serving.
