Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 12 oz Brussels sprouts stemmed and halved
- 1 Tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt plus extra for seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 lb Boneless skinless chicken breast diced small
- 1 Tablespoon Chili oil

Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F. You want that heat ready for crispy sprouts and perfectly cooked chicken.
- In a big bowl, toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and black pepper. Make sure they’re coated evenly.
- In another bowl, mix the diced chicken with chili oil, ground ginger, garlic powder, chili powder, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt. Coat evenly.
- Place the Brussels sprouts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, shake the basket to move the sprouts around, then add the chicken on top.
- Continue cooking for another 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
- Check that the chicken is cooked through and sprouts are crispy. Remove and serve immediately with extra sweet chili sauce.
Notes
For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Leftovers reheat best in the air fryer or skillet to restore texture.
