Chili Garlic Air Fryer Chicken and Broccoli

About This Recipe

Air fried chicken and broccoli with a sweet and spicy chili garlic sauce glaze.

Ingredients

• 12 oz Broccoli Florets
• 1 Tablespoon Avocado or Olive Oil
• 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1 pound Chicken Breast (cut into bite size pieces)
• 1 Tablespoon Chili Oil
• 2 teaspoons Ground Ginger
• 2 Tablespoons 30g Chili Garlic Sauce plus 1 Tablespoon (21g) Honey, for glazing

Instructions

1. Toss the broccoli in the oil before seasoning with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.
2. Toss the chicken in the chili oil before seasoning with the ground ginger and stirring to evenly coat.
3. If you have an air fryer with separate racks, place the broccoli on one with the chicken on another rack on top. Air fry for 4-5 minutes at 400ºF until the chicken is 150ºF to 160ºF before brushing on a mixture of the chili garlic and honey and air frying another 2 minutes at 400ºF to caramelize the sauce and finish cooking the chicken to 165ºF.* (You can also use the broil function if your air fryer has one.)
4. If you have a single basket air fryer, cook the broccoli on its own for 5-6 minutes at 400ºF before setting aside and cooking the chicken. You can toss together or reheat the broccoli on its own in the air fryer for a minute, if needed.
5. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and serve with rice or cauliflower rice and extra chili garlic sauce and honey, if desired.
