Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients to make the process smoother.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine chicken, broccoli, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, carrots, and red onion.
- Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and vegetables. Add Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then toss everything together to ensure even coverage.
Cooking
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- Cook in batches if necessary, placing the mixture in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Cook for about 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Check for doneness after 12 minutes; the chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Transfer everything to a plate and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
For crispier veggies, consider adding them a few minutes after the chicken starts cooking. You can add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick if desired. Always shake the basket halfway through cooking to achieve that golden color.
