30 Grams Recipe - Air Fryer Greek Chicken

This simple Air Fryer Greek Chicken dish is full of flavor and can be ready in just 20 minutes. It features juicy chicken, chickpeas, zucchini, and feta cheese, all cooked together in one pot for a quick and healthy weeknight dinner--that includes 45 grams of protein!

Think of it as a mix between a Greek salad and a warm rice bowl, but without the rice. It’s fast, fresh, satisfying, and high in protein—perfect for a dinner you can make over and over. The air fryer gives the chicken a nice golden crust, while keeping it tender and juicy. The zucchini and red onions get just caramelized enough, the tomatoes pop with flavor, and the chickpeas soak up the salty taste of olives, the creamy feta, and fresh dill. If you like easy recipes for the air fryer, this one is definitely worth adding to your weekly menu.

Serves: 2

Total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil

• 2 ½ tablespoons lemon juice

• ½ teaspoon dried oregano

• ¾ teaspoon Dijon mustard

• ¾ teaspoon kosher salt

• 12 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch cubes)

• 1 medium zucchini (8 ounces, sliced into ¼-inch thick half moons)

• ½ cup cherry tomatoes (halved)

• ½ small red onion (cut into wedges)

• ½ cup canned chickpeas (rinsed and drained)

• ¼ cup kalamata olives (pitted and sliced)

• 3 tablespoons feta cheese (crumbled )

• 1 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped )

Instructions

• Add the olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, Dijon mustard and salt to a mixing bowl and whisk to combine.

• Add the chicken, zucchini, tomatoes, red onion, chickpeas, and olives to the bowl and toss to coat everything in the marinade.

• In a single layer, (in batches as needed for smaller baskets), transfer the chicken and vegetables to the air fryer basket and cook 400°F about 10 minutes, shaking the basket 2 to 3 times, until the chicken is browned and the vegetables are tender.

• Top with feta cheese and chopped dill and serve right away.

Notes

Simplify cleanup and line the basket with air fryer parchment paper.

Cook in batches. For the chicken to get crispy, it needs space for the hot air to circulate around it. So, place everything in a single layer and don’t overcrowd the basket. Shake the basket a couple of times while it’s cooking to ensure the food cooks evenly.
