0 servings
What you need

¼ tsp lemon zest

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp granulated garlic
½ tsp salt

¼ tsp pepper

¼ tsp dried thyme

¼ tsp dried rosemary

⅓ tsp parsley

1 tbsp dijon mustard
Instructions
1 If using chicken breast make sure to cut them in half to make 4 thinner breast. 2 Take the inngredients and mix together in a small bowl or ziplock bag and give it a good stir. Then, add the chicken and toss to coat each thigh/breast and let marinate in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour or up to overnight.****Pro Tip: marinate these and then freeze them so they are ready to go. This will help make dinner planning a little easier! 3 Pre-heat your air fryer to 375 degrees. 4 Place the chicken thighs in a single layer or your air fryer pan/basket. If you have been following me, then you know I am OBSESSED with the Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer- this one is kind of like a toaster oven. So, make sure you place the pan without the holes in it on the middle rack (to catch the drippings) and cook the chicken on the top rack. 5 Once the air fryer is ready, place the chicken on the top rack and cook for 5 minutes before flipping. I then like to spray a little olive oil on top so the chicken will be a nice and browned. 6 Continue cooking the chicken for another 6-10 minutes or until you reach an internal temperature or 165 degrees. You will know the chicken is almost done when it starts to brown.****Pro Tip: Chicken thighs retain moisture better than chicken breast, so they don't tend to dry out as fast.....so it's kind of hard to mess them up!View original recipe
