Ingredients

1 pound chicken breast, chopped into bite-size pieces (2-3 medium chicken breasts)

1 cup broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)

1 zucchini chopped

1 cup bell pepper chopped (any colors you like)

1/2 onion chopped

2 cloved garlic minced or crushed

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 teaspoon EACH garlic powder, chili powder, salt, pepper

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning (or spice blend of choice) (I used my own blend from two different spice jar that had seasoning like celery salt and paprika. I used 1/2 TLBS of Todd's Spit Seasoning and Spade L Ranch Chicken Seasoning. I'm not sure where to get Todd's Spit Seasoning as it was a gift to me and I think it is someone local that makes it)

I also added sweet potato to my recipe and cooked them for about 10 minutes alone ahead of the rest of the food in the air fryer.

Instructions

Preheat air fryer to 400F. (I think I would turn the heat down to at least 350 degrees next time. They charred too fast but we did prefer the taste of the air fryer method over the oven method, though I still thought the oven way was great! We did both because the air fryer didn't have enough capacity to cook all that I had at once.)

Chop the veggies and chicken into small bite-size pieces and transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Add the oil and seasoning to the bowl and toss to combine.

Add the chicken and veggies to the preheated air fryer and cook for 10 minutes, shaking halfway, or until the chicken and veggies are charred and chicken is cooked through. If your air fryer is small, you may have to cook them in 2-3 batches.

Notes

Spices: replace the Italian seasoning with your favorite spice blend. taco, cajun, lemon pepper or any other blend works great too! Just be sure to reduce the salt if the blend already includes salt.

Veggies: can replace veggies with your favorite quick-cooking veggies. To use potatoes air fryer the potatoes for 10 minutes first.
