Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine bite-sized pieces of boneless, skinless chicken breasts with fresh broccoli florets.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  4. Pour the seasoning paste over the chicken and broccoli, mixing to coat evenly.
  5. Add the soy sauce, lemon juice, and honey to the mixture and mix again until well-coated.
  6. Arrange the coated chicken bites and broccoli in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  7. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  8. Check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) before serving.
  9. Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy immediately.
