Now that the hustle and bustle of the holidays is over, many of us are trying to find our footing once again with family meals. Once again we’ve been thrown back into the chaos of real-life. For many of us, that means less time to think about meal planning. If you’re in a pinch for dinner plans, this delicious Air Fryer Chicken Hibachi with Veggies is the perfect meal.
Why use the air fryer?
If you’ve followed my other recipes for a while, you’ll know I love using my Instant Pot and Air Fryer. They are just handy tools. Using the air fryer for this particular recipe just makes sense. First and foremost, it’s basically a one-pan meal. Second, the convection feature of the air fryer cooks this up quickly — which is perfect for a busy weeknight. However, this can easily be converted to a stovetop recipe in a wok.
What You’ll Need
Besides the air fryer, here’s what else you’ll need:
- zucchini
- yellow squash
- onion
- garlic
- sesame oil
- soy sauce
- butter, salt and pepper
- 1 pound of boneless chicken thighs
- and lemon juice.
Serve with a side of white rice and yum yum sauce!
