Instructions

1
In a mixing bowl, combine honey, mayonnaise, yellow mustard, and garlic powder to create the honey mustard sauce.
2
Whisk the sauce ingredients until smooth and well combined.
3
Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and toss to coat them thoroughly in the honey mustard sauce.
4
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
5
Place the marinated chicken breasts in the air fryer basket.
6
Cook at 350°F for approximately 15 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through.
7
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the mashed potatoes. In a saucepan, combine water, salted butter, and minced garlic. Bring to a boil.
8
Once the water mixture is boiling, turn off the heat and stir in the packet of instant mashed potatoes until smooth.
9
Once cooked, slice the chicken. For extra flavor, brush with more honey mustard sauce before serving with the mashed potatoes.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Pat chicken breasts dry before cooking to promote even browning and help the glaze adhere properly.
Pound chicken breasts to uniform thickness so they cook evenly and stay moist throughout.
Don't overcrowd the pan—cook in batches if needed to allow proper browning instead of steaming.
Brush the glaze on during the last few minutes of cooking to prevent burning while caramelizing the exterior.

Substitutions

Yellow mustard → Dijon mustard (sharper, more sophisticated flavor)
Mayonnaise → Greek yogurt (tangier, lighter alternative)
Honey → maple syrup or agave (similar sweetness and consistency)
Instant mashed potatoes → russet potatoes (fresh, requires peeling and boiling)

Storage & make-ahead

Store cooked chicken and potatoes separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Reheat chicken in a 325°F oven and potatoes on the stovetop with a splash of milk.
