Ingredients

  • 650 g Chicken breast Diced | Approx 4 breasts
  • 2 tsp Cajun spice mix See notes
  • 2 Green peppers Deseeded and cut into 2cm cubes
  • 4 Celery sticks Cut into small chunks
  • 1 Brown onion Peeled and cut into 2cm cubes
  • 1 tbsp Sunflower oil

Instructions

  • Put all of your ingredients into the air fryer, stir to coat, and cook on 200C/400F for 20 - 25 mins or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Shake vigorously halfway through cooking. ⁠
  • (As the traybake cooks you may be left with some liquid at the bottom of the pan - spoon over or discard).⁠

Notes

Cajun spice mix: I use any of the regular supermarket mixes (the type in a jar rather than a sachet). They will vary A LOT in how strong they taste, so if you’re concerned about this being too spicy, use half the amount and add more later if needed
Peppers: The type of peppers used are bell peppers
If your air fryer has a slotted base: Just remove the base, or if you can’t, don’t worry - it will just be a little less ‘juicy’. OR put the ingredients into an air fryer-proof cooking tray or liner to cook
