Method
 

PREP:
  1. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) or preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) with a lined baking sheet.
DRY:
  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure browning, then chop into 1-inch cubes.
SEASON:
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together Extra Virgin Olive Oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, red chili flakes, salt, and pepper.
TOSS:
  1. Add chicken, zucchini, broccoli, red bell pepper, and red onion to the bowl. Toss until well coated.
COOK (AIR FRYER):
  1. Place in air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, shaking basket at 6 minutes.
COOK (OVEN ALTERNATIVE):
  1. Spread evenly on prepared baking sheet. Roast at 400°F for 18-20 minutes until edges char.
FINISH:
  1. Check that chicken internal temp reaches 165°F (74°C). Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; batch-cook if necessary to prevent veggies from steaming.
