Servings: 2 servings

1 pound chicken breast (boneless, skinless) or chicken thighs cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 pound broccoli cut into florets
1/2 medium onion thickly sliced
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
3 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or Tamari for gluten-free
1 tablespoon rice vinegar or distilled white vinegar for gluten-free
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon hoisin sauce
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, smoked paprika, honey, and hoisin sauce to make the marinade.
Divide the marinade evenly between two bowls; add the cut chicken to one bowl and the broccoli florets and sliced onion to the other, stirring each to coat.
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (about 193°C).
Place only the marinated chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook at 380°F for 10 minutes.
Add the marinated broccoli and sliced onion to the basket with the partially cooked chicken, toss to combine, then air fry for an additional 8–11 minutes or until the chicken reaches 165°F and vegetables are tender-crisp, stirring or shaking halfway through.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve hot with white or brown rice if desired.
