Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  2. In a bowl, toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until they are well-coated.
  3. Gently add the broccoli florets to the bowl and coat them with any leftover seasoning and oil.
Cooking
  1. Place the seasoned chicken bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for about 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
  2. After 10 minutes, add the broccoli to the air fryer and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the chicken is golden and the broccoli is tender but still crispy.
  3. Once cooked, serve immediately while hot. Garnish with a sprinkle of your favorite herbs if desired.

Notes

Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Don't overcrowd the air fryer. Customize your seasoning with marinades or herb blends.
