Step-by-Step Air Fryer Instructions
Preheat air fryer to 380°F for 3 minutes.
In a bowl, toss chicken with olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Add vegetables and toss until evenly coated.
Arrange mixture in the air fryer basket in a single layer (cook in batches if needed).
Air fry for 10 minutes, shake or flip halfway for even browning.
