10 Minute Air Fryer Chicken And Vegetables
Air fryer vegetables with chicken - this recipe is made in one single air fryer basket and requires minimal ingredients! Make it ahead of time and it will be ready in just 10-15 minutes!
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless chicken breast, or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 4-5 ounces brown mushrooms, sliced thick
- 1 cup red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup zucchini, cut into ¾ inches half moons
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoon cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. In a large mixing bowl, toss together the chicken and vegetables with oil and spices until everything is evenly coated.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray. Working in batches, spread half of the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly in the basket. It's okay if some overlap.
- Close the air fryer and cook for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking. Repeat with the remaining mixture until all chicken and vegetables are cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F for the chicken.
- Serve hot, optionally garnishing with parsley and a squeeze of lime for extra flavor.
Oven Instructions
- Prepare and season the chicken and vegetables as directed.
- Place them on a lined baking sheet.
- Roast at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Notes
- Seasoning - just salt and pepper works wonders! If you're feeling adventurous jazz it up with some pesto or salsa when serving.
- Veggies - more colors, the better! Opt for a variety of vibrant veggies and cut them into thicker pieces. You can even toss in some fresh or frozen broccoli or larger cauliflower florets for extra goodness.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket! To achieve perfectly caramelized and crispy veggies, they need hot air all around. If it's too full, they'll just steam instead of getting that nice browning. If necessary, cook in batches. I usually split this recipe into two batches in my air fryer or just halve the recipe for a single batch.
- To Store. Let the dish cool, then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. When reheating, add warm water or broth to prevent it from drying out.
