- 1
Combine the apricot preserves, ginger paste, and rosemary in a small bowl, then microwave for about 20 seconds to make the preserves easier to spread.
- 2
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness and pat them dry with a paper towel. Rub with oil and season with salt and pepper.
- 3
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray the basket with cooking spray and place the chicken breasts in a single layer.
- 4
Air fry for 4 minutes. Flip and rotate the chicken breasts, brush them with the apricot mixture, return the basket to the air fryer, and cook until the 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).

Transfer the chicken to a plate, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice the chicken breasts and serve.
