Description

A quick and healthy Air Fryer Chicken and Broccoli recipe that’s perfect for busy weeknights. Juicy, seasoned chicken and crisp-tender broccoli cooked to perfection with minimal oil.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine chicken, olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
  3. Add broccoli florets to the bowl and toss gently to coat with remaining seasoning.
  4. Place the chicken and broccoli in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if needed.
  5. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli is tender-crisp.
  6. Remove from air fryer and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for 15-30 minutes before cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
  • Serve over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
