How To Make Air Fryer Chicken And Broccoli
First prep the ingredients. Cut the chicken into cubes and the broccoli into florets. Add both to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, add the soy sauce, olive oil, pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk with a fork until combined.
Pour sauce over chicken and vegetables. Toss with a spoon to coat evenly. Add the ingredients to the air fryer basket.
Cook at 400 degrees for 15 minutes total, pausing at 5 minute intervals to mix up the chicken and vegetables. This helps them to cook up more evenly.
When cooking time is up, check the chicken for doneness with a meat thermometer. It should register at least 160 degrees. If not, replace the air fryer basket and cook for another 5 minutes.
If the chicken is done cooking, use a spatula to move the chicken and vegetables to a serving plate or bowl. Enjoy your complete, healthy meal!

I never preheat the air fryer. If it automatically preheats, just reduce the cooking time by 1 minute
