- 3 tbsp. vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic – minced or 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp. sesame seed oil
- 2 tsp. white vinegar

Preparation
Step 1
Making marinade: Take a large bowl and whisk together the oil, garlic or garlic powder, soy sauce, sesame seed oil, white vinegar, and optional hot sauce.
Step 2
Add the chicken and broccoli into the bowl with the marinade.
Step 3
Toss ingredients together to evenly coat with the marinade. Make sure that the chicken and broccoli can absorb the marinade.
Step 4
Place the marinated chicken & veggies into the air fryer basket.
Step 5
Air fry at 380°F for 16-20 minutes. Shake and gently toss a couple of times while cooking. Make sure to toss well so that everything cooks evenly.
Step 6
Check the chicken in between to make sure it is cooked through (cook time depends on the size of the pieces). If needed, cook for additional 2-5 minutes.
Step 7
Add additional salt and pepper to taste. Squeeze fresh lemon juice on top and serve warm. Enjoy!
Note
Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket.
