Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (205°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon oil (peanut, vegetable, or canola), 2 teaspoons sesame oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 teaspoons grated or minced fresh ginger, 1 teaspoon honey, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon sriracha.
  3. Add 1 lb (450 g) chicken cut into 1-inch pieces, 7 oz (200 g) broccoli florets (bite-size), and 1 cup sliced mushrooms to the bowl. Toss until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated with the sauce.
  4. Arrange the coated chicken and vegetables in a single layer in the air fryer basket (work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding).
  5. Air fry at 400°F (205°C) for 10 minutes, flipping or shaking the basket halfway through (about at 5 minutes). The chicken should be cooked through and slightly charred at the edges—use a thermometer to confirm an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) if desired. If not fully cooked after 10 minutes, continue cooking in 2-minute increments until done.
  6. While the chicken cooks, prepare the rice according to package directions and have the creamy sriracha mayo ready for serving.
  7. Serve the cooked chicken, broccoli, and mushrooms over rice and drizzle or dollop with creamy sriracha mayo.

Notes

If your Air Fryer basket is small, cook the chicken and vegetables in batches as overcrowding the basket will result in steamed chicken and vegetables and they won’t char.
This recipe makes 2-3 generous portions.
Nutritionis calculated per serving assuming 2 servings, excluding rice.
To make a sauce (optional):After air frying, you can make a sauce to toss the chicken and vegetables in. Here’s how you make it: double the marinade amounts, take half of it and mix with¼cup of water and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Then in a small saucepan on the stovetop, simmer the sauce until it thickens. Toss the Air Fryer chicken and broccoli in the sauce and serve over rice.
