π©βπ³ How to Make It
- Preheat your air fryer to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
- Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, toss the cubed chicken with soy sauce, olive oil, honey, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let sit for 10 minutes (optional but flavor-packed!).
- Assemble foil packets: Lay out 2β4 pieces of foil. Divide the marinated chicken, pineapple chunks, and bell peppers evenly. Wrap into sealed packets, leaving a bit of space for air circulation.
- Air fry in batches if needed for 15β18 minutes, flipping once halfway. Chicken should be golden with grill marks and reach 165Β°F internal temp π‘οΈ
- Open carefully (watch out for steam!), garnish with parsley or cilantro, and enjoy that tropical aroma! ποΈ
π½οΈ What to Serve With
