Description
Deliciously Crispy Air Fryer Chicken and Broccoli is a flavorful and healthy dish featuring tender chicken cubes and crisp broccoli florets in a savory marinade.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 cup broccoli florets
- 1 small onion, sliced (optional)
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon teriyaki sauce or honey
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: sesame seeds and green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Start by preheating your air fryer to 390-400°F for about 5 minutes.
- Make the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, teriyaki sauce or honey, avocado/olive oil, minced garlic, garlic powder, ground ginger, sesame oil, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the Chicken and Broccoli: Add the cubed chicken and broccoli florets to the marinade and toss everything together until the ingredients are evenly coated.
- Arrange in the Basket: Carefully place the marinated chicken and broccoli in the air fryer basket, arranging them in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
- Air Fry to Perfection: Air fry the chicken and broccoli at 390-400°F for a total of 10 minutes, shaking or flipping the basket halfway through at the 5-minute mark.
- Check for Doneness: Keep a close eye on the air fryer as cooking times may vary slightly depending on your specific model. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F, and the broccoli should be tender-crisp with a delightful char.
