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.
