Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 lemons (one for juice, one sliced for garnish)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your Ninja Air Fryer Oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, juice of one lemon, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  4. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. In a large bowl, toss the broccoli, red bell pepper, and zucchini with balsamic vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  5. Arrange the marinated chicken breasts on one side of the Ninja Air Fryer Oven tray, and the vegetables on the other side.
  6. Roast in the air fryer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, stirring the vegetables halfway through for even cooking.
  7. Once done, remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

Tips & Tricks

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Ensure the chicken breasts are evenly sized for uniform cooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Feel free to substitute vegetables according to the season or your preference.

Serving Suggestions

This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of quinoa or brown rice for a complete meal. Garnish the chicken with lemon slices and fresh herbs for a vibrant presentation. A crisp green salad with a light vinaigrette complements the flavors beautifully.
