A quick and nutritious one-pan dinner featuring juicy air-fried chicken breasts and colorful, tender vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)
  • 1 zucchini (sliced into half-moons)
  • 1 red bell pepper (sliced)
  • 1 yellow bell pepper (sliced)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • ½ red onion (sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¾ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro (chopped)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Trim off any excess fat from the chicken breasts and pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, black pepper, oregano, and thyme. Ensure each breast is evenly coated with seasonings.
  3. In another bowl, toss zucchini, bell peppers, broccoli, and onion with the remaining olive oil, plus a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat for 5 minutes.
  5. Lay chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  6. After 10 minutes of cooking, carefully add the seasoned vegetables into the basket.
  7. Cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, ensuring chicken is fully cooked and veggies are tender.
  8. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

For best flavor, marinate chicken longer if possible. Ensure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket for even cooking.
