Air Fried Lemon Pepper Chicken Breast with Veggies

My fiance and I have been living together for more than 6 months and have been feeling a little stuck in the kitchen lately. When we first moved in together, we had so many recipes we wanted to try and new foods we wanted to eat together. However, after a few months, we found ourselves eating the same foods over and over again. While we both love spending time in the kitchen, sometimes it can be a little hard to find new inspiration or step out of your comfort zone when it comes to food. Enter AdapTable Kitchen 🙂

What To Expect

No Oven Needed!

I love using my air fryer to create new meals because I’ve been so reliant on my oven for years. Using the air fryer creates an amazing texture in the veggies and cooks the chicken to perfection.

20-Minute Meal

This meal literally takes under 20 minutes to make. The veggies are super easy to prep and the chicken is pre-seasoned and spiced from AdapTable Kitchen.

How-To

Step 1

Prep Veggies

Cut up sweet potato into small chunks (be sure to wash super well) and cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces. Once they’re ready, you can place in a bowl and add all seasoning and oil into here! I’d recommend mixing with your hands to distribute the spices evenly.

Step 2

Place on Air fryer Tray

If your air fryer comes with a tray like mine, be sure to line with tinfoil or spray with extra oil to prevent any sticking. Spread the veggies and chicken out to allow for even cooking time.

Step 3

Plate It!

This meal only takes about 20 minutes from start to finish, so the plating should come easy too! I like to cut the chicken diagonally down to create perfect bite-sized pieces. TIP: drizzle a little lemon juice on top of your veggies with a pinch of sea salt for the perfect citrusy flavor.

Veggie Substitutes

If sweet potato or broccoli just are not your favorite, here are a few easy subs you can try this meal out with. The list is truly endless, but here are my favorites:

• Asparagus
• Onions
• Potatos
• Brussel Sprouts
