Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes while you prepare the ingredients.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the broccoli, bell peppers, and zucchini, then drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. In another bowl, slice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and toss them with the remaining olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  4. Add the chicken to the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  5. After 10 minutes, add the seasoned veggies to the basket with the chicken and continue cooking for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender and slightly charred.
  6. Once done, remove the basket from the air fryer and drizzle with fresh lemon juice before serving.
