  • Total Time: 23 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 Tbsp stone ground mustard (optional)
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

Broccoli

  • 1 bunch broccoli, chopped into florets
  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Seasonings: In a small bowl, stir together the avocado oil and stone ground mustard. In another bowl, mix the sea salt, garlic powder, paprika, and dried parsley to form the seasoning blend.
  3. Coat the Chicken: Brush the chicken breasts evenly with the avocado oil and mustard mixture, then sprinkle the seasoning blend over them to coat thoroughly.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 350°F for 9 minutes, then flip the chicken over and air fry for an additional 9 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), ensuring it is fully cooked and safe to eat.
  5. Rest the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 10 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in moist, tender meat.
  6. Prepare and Cook the Broccoli: While the chicken rests, toss the broccoli florets in avocado oil and sea salt until evenly coated. Place them in the air fryer and cook at 400°F for 5 minutes. Check the broccoli and continue air frying for 1 to 2 more minutes if needed to reach desired tenderness and crispness.

Notes

  • Using a meat thermometer is the best way to ensure chicken is perfectly cooked without drying out.
  • You can adjust seasoning quantities to your taste or substitute with preferred herbs and spices.
  • Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation for even cooking.
  • If your chicken breasts vary in size, adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • Leftover chicken and broccoli can be refrigerated and enjoyed within 3-4 days.
