For the Chicken

For the Broccoli
  • 4 cups Fresh broccoli florets packed with nutrients and perfect for air frying; they retain their crunch!
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon juice brightens the flavors and complements the chicken beautifully.
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese optional; a sprinkle adds a savory, cheesy finish that’s hard to resist.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by trimming any excess fat from your chicken breasts. Cut them into bite-sized pieces for even cooking and maximum flavor absorption.
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss the chicken with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.
  3. Wash and chop the broccoli florets into smaller pieces, roughly the same size as the chicken.
Cooking
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the seasoned chicken and broccoli together. Drizzle with olive oil and toss until well-coated.
  3. Place the mixture in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 12-15 minutes, shaking halfway through.
  4. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
