Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces Fresh chicken for best flavor.
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets Can substitute with other vegetables if desired.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Helps achieve a golden exterior.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder For added flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon paprika Adds warmth and color.
  • to taste Salt and pepper Adjust to preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) to ensure even cooking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly until the chicken is well coated.
  3. Gently add the broccoli florets to the bowl and mix until the broccoli is evenly distributed among the chicken.
Cooking
  1. Arrange the chicken and broccoli in a single layer in the air fryer basket to help them crisp up nicely.
  2. Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The chicken should be golden and cooked through, while the broccoli should be vibrant and tender but still crisp.
  3. Serve the dish hot and enjoy this colorful, flavorful meal!

Notes

Ensure chicken pieces are uniform in size for even cooking. For best results, do not overcrowd the air fryer basket.
