Air Fryer Chicken Bites with Veggies
Description
Air Fryer Chicken Bites with Veggies features bite-sized chicken breast pieces tossed with diced red bell pepper, zucchini, baby bella mushrooms, and red onion. The seasoning mix of smoked paprika, garlic salt, dried thyme, and red pepper flakes brings a layered flavor profile that balances smoky, savory, and slightly spicy notes. Using both olive oil and melted butter helps in coating the chicken and vegetables to develop a crisp, flavorful surface during air frying. Cooking at 400°F for about 10 minutes, with stirring halfway through, ensures even cooking and juiciness within the chicken while the vegetables soften comfortably without becoming mushy. The result is a wholesome dish combining meat and vegetables, suitable for serving on its own or alongside a simple grain or salad for a balanced meal.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds chicken breast cut into bite size pieces
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1 zucchini cut into half moons, medium
- 8 ounces baby bella mushroom halved
- ½ red onion chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon thyme dried
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F.
- Chop all your veggies and chicken, preferable around the same size and add them to a large mixing bowl.
- Pour the olive oil, melted butter, garlic salt, dried thyme, smoked paprika and red pepper flakes the over the top, then toss to combine.
- Pour the mixture into the basket of your air fryer, making one even layer. You might have to do this in 2 batches, depending on the size of your basket.
- Air fry for 10 minutes (mixing halfway through) or until the chicken reaches at least 165°F when checked with a meat thermometer.
