Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Vegetables
- 1 lb chicken breast, diced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
Seasonings
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat to ensure even cooking.
- Season the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken breast and broccoli florets. Add olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the chicken and broccoli are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Cook in the air fryer: Place the seasoned chicken and broccoli into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning and prevent sticking.
- Serve: Once cooked through and broccoli is tender-crisp, serve immediately. For a heartier meal, serve over rice; alternatively, enjoy as a low-carb dish on its own.
Notes
- Ensure chicken pieces are uniformly diced for even cooking.
- Shaking the basket halfway through cooking helps everything brown evenly.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and pepper.
- Broccoli can be substituted with other quick-cooking vegetables like cauliflower or green beans.
- Use fresh broccoli florets for the best texture; frozen broccoli may release excess moisture.
