Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup bell peppers (red and yellow), sliced

1 cup zucchini, sliced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Optional: fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken breasts to the bowl and ensure they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor).

    Prepare the Vegetables: In a separate bowl, toss broccoli florets, sliced bell peppers, and zucchini with a drizzle of olive oil and Italian seasoning until evenly coated.

      Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.

        Cook the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken breasts in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10 minutes. Flip the chicken halfway through to ensure even cooking.

          Add the Vegetables: After 10 minutes, carefully open the air fryer and add the seasoned vegetables around the chicken. Cook for an additional 8-10 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

            Serve: Once done, remove the chicken and vegetables from the air fryer. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice it. Serve alongside the veggies and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

              Enjoy your healthy and delicious Crispy Air Fryer Chicken & Veggie Delight!
