🍽️ Servings: 4
🛒 Ingredients:
1 lb chicken breast, chopped into bite-sized pieces (about 2–3 medium breasts) 🍗
1 cup broccoli florets (fresh or frozen) 🥦
1 medium zucchini, chopped 🥒
1 cup bell pepper, any color(s) 🌶️
1/2 onion, chopped 🧅
2 cloves garlic, minced or crushed 🧄
2 tbsp olive oil 🫒
1/2 tsp each: garlic powder, chili powder, salt, black pepper 🌶️🧂
1 tbsp Italian seasoning (or your favorite spice blend) 🌿
🔥 Instructions:
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Chop the chicken and veggies into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add oil and seasoning to the bowl. Toss everything well until evenly coated.
Air fry in a single layer for about 10 minutes, shaking halfway through.
Cook in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.
Chicken should be golden and cooked through (internal temp of 165°F).
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, over cauliflower rice, or in a lettuce wrap! 🥬
💡 Tips & Variations:
🔄 Spice swap: Italian seasoning is classic, but you can mix it up with taco, Cajun, lemon pepper, or even curry blends!
(Just remember to reduce extra salt if the blend already contains it.)
🥔 Want potatoes? Par-cook them in the air fryer for 10 minutes before adding the rest.
🥕 Veggie swaps: Try mushrooms, asparagus, snap peas, or Brussels sprouts—anything that cooks quickly!
