Ingredients for Air Fryer Chicken and Vegetables (Makes 4 Servings)

  • 1 pound (450g) chicken breast, chopped into bite-size pieces (about 2-3 medium chicken breasts)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 zucchini, chopped
  • 1 cup bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or crumbled bouillon cube)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning (or any other spice blend of your choice)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley (for garnish)
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400ºF (200ºC).
  2. While the air fryer heats up, chop the chicken breast and vegetables into bite-sized pieces and transfer them into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add the olive oil, Cajun seasoning, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and garlic to the bowl. Toss everything together until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated.
  4. Place the seasoned chicken and vegetable mixture into the air fryer basket. Cook for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time. The chicken should be fully cooked, and the vegetables should have a nice, charred exterior.
  5. Once done, remove from the air fryer and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley and sprinkle with red chili pepper flakes if desired.
