Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts diced into bite-size pieces
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- ½ zucchini diced into rounds, then halved
- 4 baby corn halved widthways
- 2.5 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon sweet paprika
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- pinch black pepper optional
- olive oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer at 400F / 205C for 3 minutes.
- Dice the chicken breasts into small bite-size pieces. Dice the vegetables into similar sized pieces. Add to a large bowl.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and vegetables, then sprinkle over the thyme, sweet paprika, garlic powder and salt. Use tongs to toss so the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated in the oil, herbs and spice.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray. Use your tongs to add the chicken and vegetables to your air fryer basket. Arrange so they are in roughly a single layer. A little overlap is fine, but don't pile them up too much or the air won't be able to circulate well.
- Air fry the chicken and vegetables for 15 minutes at 400F / 205C, shaking the basket every 5 minutes or so. Make sure to check the chicken for an internal temperature of 165F at the deepest point for safe cooking. Air fry for a few more minutes, if needed.
- Season with black pepper and more salt, to taste preference.
Notes
- If you have a smaller air fryer you may need to work in batches. Or, if like me, you have a dual basket air fryer, then use both baskets.
- Dice the chicken into small pieces of roughly the same size for an even cook time.
- Spraying the air fryer basket with olive oil spray isn't absolutely necessary as the chicken and vegetables are coated already, but I like to do so very lightly to help prevent any sticking.
