Ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken breast boneless, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 Zucchini cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 Red bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 Yellow bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup Onion cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 cups whole grain brown rice
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer (or oven) to 400 degrees F.
- Add the chicken and vegetables to a large mixing bowl.
- Mix up the garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a separate small mixing bowl.
- Pour the oil over the veggies and chicken and toss to coat everything in the oil. Then pour the spice blend over everything and toss well to coat.
- Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray and then working in batches add half of the chicken and vegetable mixture to the bottom of the air fryer basket in an even layer. It is okay if some of the chicken and veggies are overlapping. If you’re baking in the oven, spread the chicken and veggies on an oiled baking sheet or two.
- Close the air fryer and cook for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time. Continue until you have cooked all of the chicken and vegetables. You will know the chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. If baking in the oven, bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20-25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
- While the mixture is cooking, prepare the whole grain brown rice. I prefer the microwavable kind to keep it quick and easy.
- Once everything is done, add ½ cup of brown rice and ¼th of the chicken and veggie mixture to each plate. Enjoy!
