Easy Air Fryer Quick Dinner Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 cup baby carrots
• 1 cup cooked quinoa
• 1 lemon, cut into wedges

Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes while you prepare the chicken.
2. In a bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, then coat the chicken breasts with this mixture evenly.
3. Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.
4. While the chicken is cooking, toss the broccoli florets and baby carrots in a separate bowl with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
5. After 10 minutes, add the seasoned vegetables to the air fryer basket with the chicken and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the vegetables are tender.
6. Remove the chicken and vegetables from the air fryer and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing the chicken.
7. Serve the sliced chicken over a bed of cooked quinoa with the vegetables on the side, garnished with fresh lemon wedges.
