Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Measuring Spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound chicken breast chopped into bite-size pieces
  • 1 cup broccoli florets fresh
  • 1 cup cauliflower florets
  • 1 medium zucchini chopped
  • 1 cup red bell pepper roughly chopped
  • 1/2 red onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (about 200°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl combine the chopped chicken, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, red bell pepper, and red onion.
  • Add the minced garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, dried basil, and salt and pepper; toss until everything is evenly coated.
  • Arrange the chicken and vegetables in a single layer in the air fryer basket; avoid overcrowding (work in batches if needed for a small air fryer).
  • Air fry for 10–15 minutes, shaking or tossing the basket halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are browned and tender.
  • Remove from the air fryer and serve warm; optionally serve with rice or noodles.

Notes

  • Cut ingredients to similar sizes for even cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the basket to ensure crisping.
  • Shake or toss halfway for even browning.
