Main Ingredients

1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces Use lean chicken breast for a healthier option.
2 cups broccoli florets Fresh broccoli recommended for best flavor and texture.
2 tablespoons olive oil Extra virgin olive oil can enhance the flavor.
1 teaspoon garlic powder Adjust amount based on taste preference.
1 teaspoon paprika Smoked paprika can add a nice depth of flavor.
Salt and pepper to taste Freshly cracked pepper will add more aroma.

Preparation

In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Cooking

Place the chicken bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10 minutes, shaking halfway through.
