INGREDIENTS
- 1 chicken breast
- 1 cup crispy fried onions
- 2 Tablespoons dijon mustard
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- salt
- pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
-
Pat chicken breast dry with paper towels. Slice in half so that you have two thin chicken breasts.
-
In a bowl, add the crispy fried onions. Crush any larger pieces with a fork or spoon.
-
To another bowl, add the dijon mustard, olive oil, and honey. Stir until combined.
-
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Then, sprinkle the flour over the chicken breasts and then rub into coat on all sides.
-
Dip each chicken breast in the honey dijon mixture, and then in the crispy onions to coat the chicken breasts.
-
Either brush air fryer basket with oil or use air fryer parchment paper. Place chicken breasts in air fryer basket.
-
Cook at 380 degrees F for 6 minutes, then flip and cook another 4-8 minutes until chicken breast is cooked through (for a total of 10-14 minutes).
-
Plate and enjoy.
NOTES
- Do not oversalt your chicken before cooking. The crispy fried onions can be salty, so they already add a nice amount of salt.
- Watch carefully to make sure french onions do not burn in the air fryer.
- When cooking chicken in the air fryer, I highly recommend a meat thermometer as cook times can vary based on the thickness of your chicken breast. Chicken should be cooked to a temperature of 165 degrees F when measured with a meat thermometer.
