👩‍🍳 Instructions

1
Pat chicken dry and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 teaspoons cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
2
Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes. Arrange chicken in a single layer and air-fry for 8–10 minutes, shaking halfway, until golden and 165°F (74°C) inside.
3
Toss broccoli with 1 tablespoon olive oil, flaky sea salt, and pepper. Air-fry at 375°F (190°C) for 6–8 minutes, shaking once, until edges char lightly.
4
In a small saucepan, combine 3 tablespoons soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Simmer briefly and whisk in the cornstarch slurry until glossy and slightly thickened.
5
Toss hot chicken with half the sauce in a large bowl, add broccoli, and toss gently. Add more sauce if desired. Serve over rice or noodles and garnish with sesame seeds and scallions.

Pro Tips

Cook chicken and broccoli in batches if your air fryer is small to avoid overcrowding. Store in fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes to preserve crispiness. Swap tamari for gluten-free. For a lower-sugar option, reduce honey to 1/2 tablespoon.
