Air Fryer Quick Dinner: Easy Chicken and Veggie Medley

Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, Italian herbs, soy sauce, and lemon juice, ensuring the chicken is well-coated.
2. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
3. Once preheated, place the seasoned chicken pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
4. Air fry the chicken at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even crisping.
5. After 10 minutes, add the mixed vegetables to the basket, shaking them in with the chicken, and continue to air fry for an additional 5-7 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.
6. Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it reaches 165°F (75°C), then remove the basket and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
