Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

  • 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 cup grape tomatoes, chopped

  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Directions

  • Mix together pesto and garlic powder in a bowl. Add chicken to bowl and stir until evenly coated.


  • In a separate bowl mix together olive oil, pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Add zucchini to the bowl and stir until evenly coated.


  • Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).


  • Lightly spray air fryer with nonstick spray. Place chicken on one side, and place seasoned zucchini on the other side. 


  • 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.


  • Mix cooked quinoa and chopped basil leaves together.


  • In a bowl place 1 cup quinoa, ½ cup chopped tomatoes, half the chicken breasts, and half the zucchini spears. Top each bowl with half the feta cheese and serve.

    From the Editor:

    For about 2 cups cooked quinoa, add 3/4 cup quinoa to a fine mesh sieve; rinse under cold running water. Bring 1 1/2 cups water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan (2:1 ratio of water to quinoa). Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
