Air Fryer Quick Dinner: 30-Minute Chicken and Veggies

Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup baby carrots
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes while you prepare the ingredients.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well with the seasoning mix.
3. Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the air fryer basket and cook for 12 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.
4. While the chicken is cooking, toss the broccoli, bell pepper, and baby carrots in a separate bowl with Italian seasoning, soy sauce, and honey until evenly coated.
5. After 12 minutes, add the seasoned vegetables to the air fryer basket alongside the chicken and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
6. Once done, remove everything from the air fryer and sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the chicken and vegetables for an added crunch before serving.
7. Serve hot and enjoy your Air Fryer Quick Dinner in bowls or plates!
