  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved

2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Green onions or sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

  3. Coat the chicken breasts with sweet chili sauce and soy sauce.

  4. Place both the chicken breasts and Brussels sprouts in the air fryer basket, arranging them in a single layer.

  5. Cook for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the Brussels sprouts are crispy.

  6. Serve hot, garnished with green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • Variations: Add sriracha or red pepper flakes to the sweet chili sauce for a spicier version. You can also include other vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or carrots for a more colorful dish.

  • Substitutions: Make the dish gluten-free by using tamari or gluten-free soy sauce. If you don’t have sweet chili sauce, a mix of honey and hot sauce works as a substitute.

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken and Brussels sprouts back in the air fryer for 3-5 minutes at 375°F (190°C).
