Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 cups broccoli florets chopped (about 6 ounces)
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chili crisp or 1 additional tablespoon olive oil plus 1/4–1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup green onions chopped
- rice brown or white rice or cauliflower rice, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) if your model recommends preheating.
- Place the cut chicken and chopped broccoli in a large mixing bowl or directly in the air fryer basket.
- Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, and ground ginger evenly over the chicken and broccoli.
- Pour the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, and chili crisp (or the olive oil + red pepper flakes alternative) over the ingredients and toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Arrange the coated chicken and broccoli in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving a little space for air circulation.
- Air fry at 375°F for 8 to 12 minutes, shaking or tossing the basket several times during cooking, until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli is crisp-tender.
- Transfer to a serving dish, stir in the chopped green onions, and serve with brown or white rice or cauliflower rice.
