Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken and Veggies:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 zucchini, chopped
- 1 red onion, chopped
For the Marinade:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Fresh parsley or dill, for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken and Veggies: In a large bowl, combine the chicken, bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Pour the marinade over the chicken and vegetables and toss to coat evenly. Let sit for 10–15 minutes if time allows.
- Air Fry: Preheat the air fryer to 380°F for 3 minutes. Add the marinated chicken and veggies to the air fryer basket in a single layer (cook in batches if needed). Air fry for 12–15 minutes, shaking halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender with crispy edges.
- Serve: Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with crumbled feta and fresh herbs. Serve warm over rice, in pita wraps, or on salad.
