Air Fryer Chicken and Broccoli
This Air Fryer Chicken and Broccoli recipe uses a ginger-garlic soy marinade with hoisin and honey to coat bite-sized chicken pieces, broccoli florets, and onion slices. The chicken air fries first for a crispy exterior, then vegetables join for a quick finish. The combination yields tender, flavorful chicken with crisp-tender vegetables. It’s easy to serve alongside white or brown rice.

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
- Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces to maintain tenderness and even cooking.
- Marinate chicken and vegetables at least 10 minutes, up to 30 minutes for more flavor.
- Watch chicken’s internal temperature; remove from air fryer when it nears 160°F.
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket; arrange chicken in single layer for crispiness.
- Keep broccoli florets loose to avoid chewiness, allowing air circulation.
