Ingredients

  • 75 g Salted butter
  • 4 Garlic cloves Crushed
  • 2 tbsp Fresh flat leaf parsley Finely chopped
  • 650 g Chicken breast Diced | Approx x4
  • 400 g Long stemmed broccoli
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Make up the garlic butter by mixing together butter, garlic, parsley and a pinch of sea salt.
  • Put the chicken into the air fryer and dollop the butter all over and cook on 200C for 15 mins.
  • Add the broccoli and cook for a further 10 minutes. Shake vigorously halfway through cooking.

Notes

To cook in the oven instead: You can cook this in the oven at 200C for the same amount of time
Serving suggestions: Microwave rice, flatbreads, wraps or pittas, salad or crusty bread
Vegetarian option: You can swap the chicken for a vegetarian/vegan protein too, but adjust your cook times as required
Chicken: You can use thighs instead of breast if you prefer, but bear in mind they will take a little longer to cook. Cut them small and adjust the cooking time to until they’re cooked through
Make ahead for prepped lunches: When cool, pack it into fridge containers and store for up to 3 days. Reheat until piping hot throughout in the microwave (or eat cold). You can also freeze. Defrost it thoroughly first and then reheat
