  • Broccoli florets<\/strong> – Fresh or frozen. We use fresh broccoli florets (see notes below).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Red onion<\/strong> – Optional, but flavorful addition. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Olive oil<\/strong> – Or another oil of your choice, such as avocado oil, canola oil, or sunflower oil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Salt<\/strong> – Enhances the overall flavor; adjust to taste.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

    Recipe Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Before you make this easy air fryer chicken and broccoli combo, have a read through these tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • You can make this recipe with boneless, skinless chicken thighs if you prefer. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • You can use frozen broccoli florets instead of fresh. Keep in mind that the cooking time will be a touch longer. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Cut the chicken into small, bite-sized pieces of similar size so that they cook evenly. If you cut the chicken into larger pieces, it will take longer to cook. In this case, add the broccoli florets a little later.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Don’t overcrowd the air fryer – otherwise, the chicken and broccoli may not cook evenly. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The exact cooking time can vary depending on the size of the chicken pieces and your air fryer. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
