Air Fryer Honey-Pecan Chicken Breasts

Ingredients:

Boneless, skinless chicken breast
Salt
Black Pepper
Garlic Powder
Pecans
Honey

Simple Directions:

Start by laying out your chicken on a cutting board.
In a small bowl, mix the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Remember, this will be your seasoning; it’s important to season the chicken breasts generously.
Generously season the chicken breasts.
Meanwhile, spray your air fryer basket with olive oil. See my recommendations in the items used.
Set your seasoned chicken breasts inside the air fryer basket.
Generously spray the chicken breasts with olive oil. You need to spray it generously. They should be covered. If you miss pieces of the chicken breasts, you will notice that you will get white spots. This is because the chicken has tried out.
Set your time for 7 minutes.
Set your temperature to 370 degrees F.
After 7 minutes, flip the chicken, and set for another 5 minutes.
VERY IMPORTANT–The exact time will depend on many factors, including the thickness of your chicken, the type of air fryer you own, etc.
So, use a MEAT THERMOMETER and check
The safe internal temperature for cooked chicken is 165° Fahrenheit (75° Celsius)
Once your chicken is fully cooked, remove them from the air fryer basket, and set on a plate.
To make your pecan topping, grab a handful of pecans and place them in a Ziploc bag and crush them with either your hands or a rolling pin.
Sprinkle them on top of the chicken and then drizzle honey on top.
Plate, serve, and enjoy!
