Description

Deliciously crispy air fryer chicken breast served alongside vibrant grilled peppers and a zesty lemon aioli.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 2 Bell peppers (assorted colors)
  • 1 Lemon (juiced)
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 clove Fresh garlic (minced)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Brush the mixture over both sides of the chicken breasts.
  4. Place the chicken in the air fryer basket and cook for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. While the chicken is cooking, slice the bell peppers into strips.
  6. Toss the peppers in olive oil and a pinch of salt, then grill them on a stovetop grill pan over medium heat until tender and slightly charred.
  7. In another bowl, combine lemon juice, mayonnaise, and minced garlic to make the lemon aioli.
  8. Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  9. Serve the sliced chicken breast with grilled peppers on the side, drizzled with lemon aioli.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the spice mixture for a few hours before cooking.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to grill, such as zucchini or onions.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic in the aioli based on your taste preference.
