Air Fryer Trader Joe’s Orange Chicken And Broccoli --Craving a quick and delicious meal?

Ingredients 

  • 1 package Trader Joe's Orange Chicken, Frozen
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 teaspoon Salt and pepper to taste, optional, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, optional, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds , for garnish, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for a few minutes. Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy result.
  • Open the bag of Trader Joe's Orange Chicken and place the battered chicken pieces in the air fryer basket. You don't need to defrost the chicken; it can go in frozen.
  • Cook the chicken at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-12 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, shake the basket or flip the chicken for even cooking. Air frying times may vary based on your specific air fryer, so keep an eye on the chicken to prevent overcooking.
  • While the chicken is cooking, toss the broccoli florets with a little cooking oil spray (if desired), salt, and pepper in a bowl. This step is optional but adds flavor and crispiness to the broccoli.
  • After the chicken has cooked for about 10-12 minutes (or until it's golden brown and crispy), open the air fryer and add the seasoned broccoli florets to the basket around the chicken.
  • Continue air frying the chicken and broccoli together for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli is tender and slightly crispy at the edges.
  • Once the dish is done, you can sprinkle it with sesame seeds for an extra touch of flavor and texture.
  • Transfer the cooked Trader Joe's Orange Chicken and Broccoli to a serving plate. It's best enjoyed hot.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Cooking Spray
  • Parchment Paper, optional

Notes

How To Make Trader Joe's Frozen Orange Chicken Sauce:
If the sauce packet is frozen, allow it to thaw at room temperature for a little while or run it under lukewarm water until it softens enough to be poured into a saucepan.
