Air fryer chicken recipe
Air fryer chicken and vegetable recipeis quick, easy, and tastes amazing. Being similar to convection ovens, air fryers use a heating element to heat the air in the appliance, then a fan circulates hot air that cooks the food. This chicken breast air fryer recipe is the best way to cook chicken and vegetables for a full meal beside the regular oven. It’s quick, easy, and brings out the flavors of both chicken and vegetables.
How to make air fryer chicken and vegetables
Start by chopping all the ingredients into bite-size pieces. Try cutting even-sized pieces so the chicken and veggies cook evenly in the air fryer. Toss chicken and veggies with olive oil and seasoning. Then spread everything in the insert of the air fryer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring halfway. Chicken should be golden brown on the edges and cooked through.

I loved the mix of vegetables in this dish and even added some quartered mushrooms. Our only problem was the heat of the Cajun seasoning. We love Cajun seasoning, but this was downright hot. If I make this dish again I will definitely cut back the Cajun seasoning to 1 1/2 teaspoons.
