Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast chopped into bite-size pieces (2-3 medium chicken breasts)
- 2 cups broccoli florets fresh or frozen
- 1 medium zucchini chopped
- 1 medium bell pepper chopped (any colors you like)
- 1 red onion chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp chili powder
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for a few minutes to ensure it's hot and ready for cooking.
- Prepare the Chicken and Veggies. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped chicken breast, broccoli florets, zucchini, bell pepper, and red onion. Drizzle olive oil over the mixture and season with garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Toss to Coat. Use a spoon or your hands to toss the chicken and veggies until they are evenly coated with the olive oil and seasoning mixture.
- Arrange in the Air Fryer Basket. Once the chicken and veggies are coated, transfer them to the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the basket to allow for proper air circulation and even cooking.
- Air Fry. Place the filled air fryer basket into the preheated air fryer. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking. The chicken should be cooked through, and the veggies should be tender and lightly browned.
- Check for Doneness. To ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should register at least 165°F (74°C) when inserted into the thickest part of the chicken pieces.
- Serve and Enjoy. Once the chicken and veggies are cooked perfectly, remove them from the air fryer basket and transfer them to a serving dish. Serve hot as a delicious and nutritious meal option.
