This delicious, nutritious chicken and vegetable recipe is incredibly easy to whip up, full of flavor, and makes a healthy low-carb or keto-friendly meal in under 20 minutes.
- 1 Ib chicken breast, diced into bite-sized pieces (approximately 2-3 medium breasts)
- 1 cup broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
- 1 zucchini, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup bell peppers, diced (any color or combination)
- ½ onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp each garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning (or substitute your preferred spice blend)
Preheat: Set your air fryer temperature to 400°F (200°C).
Prep Ingredients: Cut the chicken breast and vegetables into small, bite-sized pieces and place them in a large bowl.
Season: Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and veggies, sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, chili powder, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
Air Fry: Transfer the seasoned chicken and vegetables to your preheated air fryer basket. Cook for approximately 10 minutes, shaking or stirring halfway through cooking, until the chicken is fully cooked and vegetables are slightly charred. (Note: For smaller air fryer baskets, cook in batches.)
- Spices: Feel free to swap Italian seasoning for your favorite spice mix (e.g., taco, cajun, lemon pepper). If the spice blend already contains salt, consider reducing additional salt.
- Vegetables: Substitute or add any quick-cooking veggies of your choice. If using potatoes, air fry the potatoes alone for about 10 minutes before adding chicken and other vegetables.
