This air fryer pesto chicken quinoa bowl is a hearty dinner, with air fried, seasoned chicken and zucchini spears atop fluffy, whole-grain quinoa, fresh tomatoes, and crumbled feta.

Ingredients:

  • 2 teaspoons prepared pesto
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 zucchini, cut into spears
  • nonstick cooking spray
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa (see note)
  • 10 basil leaves, chopped

  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Direction

  2. In a separate bowl mix together olive oil, pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Add zucchini to the bowl and stir until evenly coated.
  3. Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  4. Lightly spray air fryer with nonstick spray. Place chicken on one side, and place seasoned zucchini on the other side.
  5. Fry in the preheated air fryer until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of chicken reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 10 minutes.
