Ingredients

For the Chicken Marinade

1 lb chicken breast, sliced Lean protein that absorbs the marinade well.
1/4 cup soy sauce Provides saltiness and depth of flavor.
2 tbsp honey Adds sweetness and contributes to caramelization.
1 tbsp sesame oil Adds a nutty flavor.
2 cloves garlic, minced Enhances the flavor profile.
1 tbsp ginger, minced Adds an aromatic depth.

For the Stir-Fried Vegetables

1 cup broccoli florets Should be tender-crisp when stir-fried.
1 red bell pepper, sliced Provides color and sweetness.
2 green onions, chopped For garnish and added flavor.
to taste sesame seeds For garnish.

Method

Preparation

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger until well combined.
Add the sliced chicken to the marinade, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

Cooking

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the marinated chicken in a single layer in the basket.
Air fry the chicken for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until browned and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium heat. Stir-fry the broccoli and sliced red bell pepper for 3-4 minutes until tender yet crisp.
Once the chicken is cooked, combine it with the stir-fried vegetables in the skillet. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

For maximum flavor, allow the chicken to marinate longer, up to overnight. Adjust sweetness by altering the honey amount. This dish can be served over rice or quinoa.
