Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons apricot preserves
1 teaspoon fresh ginger paste (such as Gourmet Garden™)
½ teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
2 (8 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Stir apricot preserves, ginger paste, and rosemary together in a small bowl. Microwave for about 20 seconds to make preserves easier to spread.
  • Pound chicken breasts to uniform thickness and pat dry with a paper towel. Rub with oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray the basket with cooking spray and add chicken breasts in a single layer.

Return basket to the air fryer and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 8 to 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Transfer chicken to a plate, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let sit for 5 minutes. Cut chicken breasts into slices and serve.
