Air Fryer Chicken and Broccoli

Air Fryer Chicken and Broccoli is such an easy and healthy lunch or dinner. And you know what, it is amazing and totally simple. If you are looking for a quick and easy Air Fryer Stir Fry, this is one of my favorites.

I love playing around with my air fryer, and truth be told. I use whatever I have on hand to make my meals, probably like most of you do. So, I had a bag of prewashed and chopped broccoli florets, and a package of chicken, and two hungry kids, who suddenly had virtual school due to the snow. So, obviously, my mind when to a simple stir fry in the air fryer.

I love a great and healthy air fryer recipe, like most of you, I like to serve my family healthy but decliosu meals.

If you are looking for some of my other great and easy chicken recipes, a few of my personal favorites are Air Fryer Chicken Yakitori, Air Fryer Flamin’ Hot Chicken, and one of the simplest, Air Fryer Shake N’ Bake Style Fried Chicken.

Today, I served these on top of a great big bowl of rice, and it’s so healthy and amazing. I love healthy meals in the air fryer. If you do not want to serve this over salad, it is great with some of my great air fryer sides dishes, such as Air Fryer Sweet Potato French Fries or even an Air Fryer Baked Potato.
