# What You Need:

01 - 2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound), cut into 1-inch pieces

02 - 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
03 - 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces

05 - 1 red onion, cut into wedges
06 - 1 cup broccoli florets
→ Marinade & Seasoning
07 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

09 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
10 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
11 - 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
12 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
13 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
14 - Optional: 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
# Directions:

02 - In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, oregano, thyme, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
03 - Add the chicken pieces and all vegetables to the bowl. Toss well to coat evenly with the seasoning mixture.
04 - Arrange the chicken and vegetables in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd—cook in two batches if necessary.

06 - Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- Everything cooks on one sheet pan in the air fryer so cleanup is literally seconds
- The seasoning blend hits every single piece evenly so no bland bites
02 -
- Overcrowding is the number one mistake people make with air fryers so do not be afraid to cook in two batches
- Letting the chicken rest for just 2 minutes after cooking makes a huge difference in juiciness
03 -
- Dry your vegetables thoroughly after washing because excess water will steam instead of crisp in the air fryer
- A sprinkle of grated Parmesan or everything bagel seasoning right when it comes out hot makes it feel extra special
