Start by cutting the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes for even cooking. Chop the broccoli into small florets if they’re too large. Pat both the chicken and broccoli dry with a paper towel to ensure they crisp up nicely.

In a large bowl, toss the chicken and broccoli with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Make sure everything is evenly coated for maximum flavor.

Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for about 3 minutes. Preheating helps achieve a crispier texture.

If your air fryer basket is small, cook the chicken and broccoli in batches to avoid overcrowding. Spread them in a single layer for even air circulation.

Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and the broccoli should be tender with crispy edges.

Remove from the air fryer and let the chicken rest for a minute before serving. Pair with rice, quinoa, or enjoy it on its own!
