How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to create your air-fried masterpiece:

1. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F.
2. Add the chicken and vegetables to a large mixing bowl.
3. In a separate small mixing bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
4. Pour the oil over the veggies and chicken, tossing to coat everything evenly. Then, sprinkle the spice blend over the mixture and toss well to ensure everything is coated.
5. Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray. Working in batches, add half of the chicken and vegetable mixture to the bottom of the air fryer basket in an even layer. It’s okay if some of the chicken and veggies overlap.
6. Close the air fryer and cook for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
7. Remove and serve hot, topped with dried or fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon if desired.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your air fryer chicken and vegetables turn out perfectly:

• Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket; cooking in batches helps everything cook evenly.
• Feel free to mix and match your vegetables based on what you have. Broccoli, carrots, or asparagus would also work beautifully!
• If you love a bit of heat, add some red pepper flakes to the spice mix.
• For a twist, try marinating the chicken in your favorite sauce for a few hours before cooking.

How to Serve

This dish is incredibly versatile! You can serve it as is for a healthy, low-carb meal, or pair it with:

• Quinoa or brown rice for a heartier option.
• A fresh garden salad for a refreshing side.
• Some crusty bread to soak up any juices.
• For a fun twist, serve it over creamy garlic pasta for a delightful fusion of flavors!

Make Ahead and Storage

If you want to prep ahead, you can chop the vegetables and marinate the chicken a day in advance. Just store them in an airtight container in the fridge until you’re ready to cook. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to get that crispy texture back!

So there you have it! A quick, healthy, and delicious dinner option that’s perfect for busy weeknights. I hope you enjoy making this Air Fryer Chicken and Vegetables as much as I do.
