Description

Enjoy a High Protein Air Fryer Chicken Bowl Spicy that’s perfect for an easy dinner. This weeknight dinner combines spicy air fryer chicken with fresh veggies for a hearty family dinner and a high protein chicken bowl.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 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. Coat the broccoli in oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Set it aside.
  2. Toss the chicken in chili oil and ginger powder until all pieces are evenly coated.
  3. If using an air fryer with two racks, place broccoli on the lower rack and chicken on the top rack. Air fry at 400ºF for 4 to 5 minutes until the chicken reaches 150ºF to 160ºF.
  4. Brush the chicken with a mixture of chili garlic sauce and honey, then air fry for another 2 minutes at 400ºF to caramelize and cook the chicken to 165ºF.
  5. If you have a single basket air fryer, cook broccoli alone for 5 to 6 minutes at 400ºF, then set aside. Cook the chicken separately. Reheat or toss together just before serving if needed.
  6. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and serve with rice or cauliflower rice alongside extra chili garlic sauce and honey if desired.

Notes

  • *For the two rack air fryer, I used an Instant Pot Vortex Pro
  • The single basket air fryer cook times are with a 6
  • 5-quart Ninja Foodi
