Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Once the chicken has marinated, remove it from the fridge and shake off any excess marinade. Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between each piece for optimal air circulation.
Air fry the chicken breasts for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
