Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
Vegetables
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, and broccoli)
Seasoning & Oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts. Wash and chop the mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces ensuring even cooking.
- Season the Chicken and Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the chicken breasts and mixed vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and thyme. Toss everything together to evenly coat in the seasoning and oil.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Air Fry the Chicken and Vegetables: Arrange the chicken breasts and vegetables in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 375°F for 18-22 minutes, shaking the basket or turning the chicken halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The vegetables should be tender and slightly caramelized.
- Serve: Remove the chicken and vegetables from the air fryer and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
Notes
- You can swap out mixed vegetables based on your preference or seasonal availability.
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken breasts for 30 minutes before air frying.
- Cooking times may vary depending on air fryer model and size of chicken breasts.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation.
