🛒 Ingredients

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1
    Step 1: In a mixing bowl, whisk Dijon mustard, raw honey, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. 2
    Step 2: Add the chicken cubes and toss thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated. Let stand for 5 minutes.
  3. 3
    Step 3: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil.
  4. 4
    Step 4: Spread chicken cubes in a single layer (cook in two batches if necessary) and air fry for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through until caramelized and internal temp reads 165°F.
  5. 5
    Step 5: Toss broccoli florets and bell pepper chunks into the basket with 1 tsp olive oil and air fry at 390°F for 6 minutes until tender-crisp. Assemble bowls over cooked quinoa and garnish with chives.
💡 Chef's Insider Tip: Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Cooking the chicken in a spacious single layer ensures maximum caramelization and crisp edges.
