Servings: 4 Servings
Calories: 225kcal
Ingredients
For the Broccoli
- 12 oz Broccoli Florets
- 1 Tablespoon Avocado or Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
For the Chicken
- 1 pound Chicken Breast cut into bite size pieces
- 1 Tablespoon Chili Oil
- 2 teaspoons Ground Ginger
- 2 Tablespoons 30g Chili Garlic Sauce plus 1 Tablespoon (21g) Honey, for glazing
Instructions
- Toss the broccoli in the oil before seasoning with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.
- Toss the chicken in the chili oil before seasoning with the ground ginger and stirring to evenly coat.
- If you have an air fryer with separate racks, place the broccoli on one with the chicken on another rack on top. Air fry for 4-5 minutes at 400ºF until the chicken is 150ºF to 160ºF before brushing on a mixture of the chili garlic and honey and air frying another 2 minutes at 400ºF to caramelize the sauce and finish cooking the chicken to 165ºF.* (You can also use the broil function if your air fryer has one.)
- If you have a single basket air fryer, cook the broccoli on its own for 5-6 minutes at 400ºF before setting aside and cooking the chicken. You can toss together or reheat the broccoli on its own in the air fryer for a minute, if needed.
- Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and serve with rice or cauliflower rice and extra chili garlic sauce and honey, if desired.

Notes
*For the two rack air fryer, I used an Instant Pot Vortex Pro. The single basket air fryer cook times are with a 6.5-quart Ninja Foodi. Cook times may vary so go by the internal temperature of your chicken.
