Air Fryer Chicken and Broccoli

Delicious Air Fryer Chicken and Broccoli Recipe for Healthy Meals

  • Author: SIMOVIRAL

Ingredients

  • 1 pound (454 g) boneless skinless chicken breast or thighs , cut into 1″ bite sized pieces
  • 1/2 pound (227 g) broccoli , cut into bite sized pieces (about 2 cups)
  • salt , to taste
  • black pepper , to taste
  • serve with lemon wedges

Instructions

    • Make the Marinade: In a large bowl whisk together the oil, garlic or garlic powder, soy sauce, sesame seed oil, rice vinegar, and optional hot sauce.
    • For crispy charred broccoli: Add the chicken and broccoli into the bowl with the marinade. Toss ingredients together to evenly coat with the marinade. Make sure to mix well so the chicken and broccoli can absorb the marinade. There shouldn’t be much of the sauce left in the bottom of the bowl.
    • Place the marinated chicken & veggies into the air fryer basket.
    • Air Fry at 380°F/193°C for 16-20 minutes, shaking and gently tossing a couple times while cooking. Make sure to toss well so that everything cooks evenly.
  • Check the chicken to make sure it is cooked through (time will depend on how big you cut the pieces). If needed, cook for additional 2-5 minutes.
  • Add additional salt and pepper, to taste. Squeeze fresh lemon juice on top and serve warm.

Notes

  • 3 Tablespoons (30 ml) vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic , minced or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) soy sauce , or to taste (use Tamari for Gluten Free)

  • 2 teaspoons (10 ml) rice vinegar (use distilled white vinegar for Gluten Free)
  • 2 teaspoons (10 ml) hot sauce (optional)
