Making Air Fryer Chicken and Vegetables involves just a few simple steps. Follow this guide to whip up your meal:
1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
2. Prepare Chicken: While the air fryer is preheating, cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
3. Season Chicken: In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
4. Prepare Vegetables: In another bowl, combine the broccoli, bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
5. Combine Ingredients: Add the seasoned chicken to the vegetables, mixing everything together to ensure even seasoning.
6. Air Fry: Place the chicken and vegetable mixture into the air fryer basket in an even layer.
7. Cook: Air fry for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
8. Check for Doneness: Ensure the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). If necessary, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
9. Serve: Once done, remove the air fryer basket and let the contents cool for a minute before serving.
These steps ensure a deliciously easy meal that requires minimal effort in the kitchen. The air fryer does most of the work while you focus on setting the table or enjoying some downtime.
