Air fryer Chicken and Veggies

(Yes, you can cook it in the oven too!)

I’m always on the lookout for meals I can double batch. I can serve what I make for dinner and freeze the other half for a meal after I’ve had a non-stop day. (Anyone else have those?!?!)

@eatinghealthytoday and @fooddolls have come up with this super simple, recipe to get a tasty meal on the table in 30 minutes. We can all use more veggies in our lives, and this brings a strong veggie game. The chicken provides us with lean protein, a must for the athlete in all of us.

Don’t have an air fryer? No worries, it can be roasted in the oven** just as easily!

INGREDIENTS:

· 1 lb chicken breast, cut into 1 inch pieces

· ½ red onion, cubed

· 1 large zucchini, cubed

· 1 red pepper, cubed

· 1 yellow pepper, cubed

· 2 garlic cloves, minced

· 2 TBLSP Cajun seasoning*

· Salt and pepper to taste (I omitted the salt because the Cajun seasoning is pretty salty.)

· 2 TBLSP olive oil

DIRECTIONS:

· Preheat air fryer to 380**

· In the basket of the air fryer, add chicken and all of your veggies.

· Drizzle with olive oil, garlic and Cajun seasoning. Toss well.

· Air fry for 23-25 minutes, stirring ½ way through.

· Serve with rice, farro, cauliflower rice, or on a bed of greens.

*Switch it up by using your favorite seasoning blend instead of the Cajun.

**To roast in the oven, preheat oven to 400. Use a sheet pan lined with tinfoil. Lightly coat the tinfoil with cooking spray or olive oil. Bake for 25 minutes, stirring ½ way.
