Delicious Air Fryer Chicken Breasts with Sweet Chili Sauce
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal or cover and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off excess. Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions if desired, and serve hot.
