DO NOT pre-heat the air fryer for this recipe. The chicken and broccoli will cook down and shrink, so if it the basket feels full at first, there will be less volume after everything is cooked.Two Options for Air Frying Broccoli & Onions: Cooking the chicken halfway, then adding the veggies will cook the broccoli & onions moderately. The other option is to air fry them all together from the beginning which makes the broccoli/onions extra crispy. Or you can add the veggies at anytime that cooks it to your preference. After your first batch, you'll know better what method works for your air fryer and personal liking.This healthy recipe is simple and lower calorie because there's no sticky sauce. If you want a saucy version, you can add your own favorite sauce or make our homemade teriyaki sauce (search "teriyaki sauce" in the search tool).
