Air fryer chicken and broccoli is an easy meal that only takes 10 minutes to cook in the air fryer.
I love meals that get all cooked at once. This air fryer chicken and broccoli just gets cooked in the air fryer all at the same time. This means it's really easy to make.
The chicken and broccoli only uses a few ingredients, but it is incredibly flavorful. I make this for lunch all the time. Sometimes I will serve it with rice or quinoa, but a lot of times I just eat the chicken and broccoli without any other sides.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Ingredients
- Chicken breast
- Broccoli
- Soy sauce
- Teriyaki sauce

How to make air fryer chicken and broccoli
Preheat your air fryer for 5 minutes at 400 degrees F.
Prep your chicken and veggies! Cut your chicken into cubes about 1.5 inches big and your broccoli into florets if needed.
Make the marinade. To a large bowl, add the soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, garlic powder, and olive oil. Stir to combine.
Add everything together. Add your chicken add broccoli to the sauce and mix together until everything is coated. (You can also just marinate the chicken -- see recipe notes for details).
Add to preheated air fryer. Add your chicken and broccoli to the air fryer in a single layer.
Cook chicken and broccoli in the air fryer for 10 minutes at 400 degrees, shaking halfway through cooking time.
Plate and enjoy!
I like to top with sesame seeds! You can use white or black sesame seeds.
Recipe tips
- If you serve this with rice, it may feed two people. If you just eat the chicken and broccoli with no other sides, the serving size is for one person. (This recipe is also very easy to double).
- All air fryers cook differently. Adjust cooking times as needed. It you cut your chicken into chunks larger than 1.5 inches, they may need a longer cook time.
- This recipe results in the sauce really soaking into the broccoli, which makes is really flavorful, but it may not get as crispy. If you're looking for a super crispy broccoli, just marinade the chicken and add the broccoli to the air fryer without marinating it. You can also reserve some of the sauce (before adding the chicken) to pour over the dish at the end.
- If you want to make it spicy, add some red pepper flakes or peppers.
