Air Fryer Chicken & Broccoli is the kind of one-bowl dinner that earns a permanent spot in your weeknight rotation. Everything tosses together in a single bowl, hits the air fryer at once, and comes out with crisp-edged chicken and bright, tender broccoli glazed in a sweet-salty sauce. Minimal cleanup, maximum payoff.
About 20 minutes start to finish, including a few minutes of prep while the air fryer preheats.

Meal prep & storage
Double the recipe and divide into airtight containers for grab-and-go lunches throughout the week. Stored in the fridge, it keeps well for up to 4 days; for longer storage, freeze portions for up to 2 months. Reheat in the air fryer at 350F for 3-4 minutes to bring back the texture, or microwave in 30-second bursts if you're short on time.
Swaps
Boneless chicken thighs work beautifully here if you want richer flavor and a little more forgiveness on cook time. Swap broccoli for cauliflower, green beans, or Brussels sprouts depending on what's in the crisper. If you're out of honey, maple syrup keeps the glaze balanced, and coconut aminos can stand in for soy sauce if you need a gluten-free option.
