👩‍🍳 Instructions

1
Pat chicken pieces very dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, combine the cubed chicken and all the chopped vegetables.
2
Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together thoroughly until evenly coated.
3
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes.
4
Place a single layer of the seasoned chicken and vegetables in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary to ensure proper airflow and crisping.
5
Cook for 10-12 minutes, then remove the basket and shake or toss the contents gently to ensure even cooking and browning.
6
Return to the air fryer and continue cooking for another 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F / 74°C) and the vegetables are tender-crisp with some charring.
7
Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.

Pro Tips

For best results, ensure chicken and vegetables are cut into similar-sized pieces for even cooking. Adjust seasoning to your preference. Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days and can be reheated in the air fryer for best texture.
