Air Fryer Chicken and Broccoli
Report
When a meal this good also happens to be healthy and simple, I’m all in. My Air Fryer Chicken and Broccoli is packed with flavor, thanks to a sweet and savory marinade made with my unique blend of spices. It is ready in just 30 minutes, making it the perfect dinner for busy nights when I still want to serve something homemade and satisfying.

Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast boneless and skinless or chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 pound broccoli cut into florets
- 1/2 medium onion thickly sliced
Marinade:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh minced ginger
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce or use Tamari for Gluten Free
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or use distilled white vinegar for Gluten Free
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon hoisin sauce
- salt to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- First, combine the marinade ingredients in a bowl.
- Add the chicken to one bowl and the broccoli and onion to another.
- Divide the marinade between the two bowls, stirring to coat the ingredients evenly.
Air Fry:
- Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees F.
- Add just the chicken to the air fryer basket in one layer and air fry for 10 minutes.
- Next, stir in the broccoli and onions with the chicken, and air fry for 8-11 minutes or until the chicken is cooked. Stir halfway through cooking.
- Serve with white or brown rice.
Notes
- One thing I’ve learned from making this recipe over and over is that cutting the chicken into even one-inch pieces is key here. If they’re too small, they dry out fast, so I always take the time to cut them just right. The biggest tip I can give you though is to keep an eye on the chicken while it cooks. I always check the internal temperature after 10 minutes and if it’s close to 160 degrees F, I stop cooking or pull the chicken out early and let the veggies finish on their own.
- Cutting the chicken and broccoli into similar sizes helps everything cook evenly. I try to keep the pieces around the same thickness so nothing overcooks or undercooks.
- I always marinate the chicken for at least ten minutes. If I have extra time, I let it sit for up to 30 minutes for even more flavor.
- I place the chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer. That way, it cooks through evenly and gets a little crispy on the outside.
- I make sure not to pile the broccoli too tightly. Giving it some space helps it stay tender with a bit of bite instead of turning chewy.
