Fruit preserves work beautifully for glazing certain meats and fish, and apricot is one of the best for chicken.
Serve over white rice
This chicken is the epitome of contrasts: not only is it sweet and spicy, it is also tangy and sour. And the stickiness of the dish is compensated by the crispy skin and juicy meat.It is vosoble that the glazed chicken breasts are too beautiful and they are appetizing. Seeing them you can not stop eating them.

Method for Air Fryer Apricot-Glazed Chicken Breasts
- 1Stir apricot preserves, ginger paste, and rosemary together in a small bowl. Microwave for about 20 seconds to make preserves easier to spread.
- 2Pound chicken breasts to uniform thickness and pat dry with a paper towel. Rub with oil and season with salt and pepper.
- 3Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray the basket with cooking spray and add chicken breasts in a single layer.
- 4Air fry for 4 minutes. Flip and rotate the position of the chicken breasts. Brush with the apricot mixture. 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).
- 5Transfer chicken to a plate, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let sit for 5 minutes. Cut chicken breasts into slices and serve.
