Ingredients
Chicken_breast
– 1 lb.
Sazón_Tropical_Seasoning
– 1 Tablespoon
Oil_spray
Lemon_Juice
– 1 Lemon
Vegetables
– 3 cups
Sweet_Potato
– 2 medium or 1 large
Olive_oil
– 1 Tablespoon
Salt
– ½ teaspoon
Pepper
– ¼ teaspoon
Instructions
Step 1
Add oil spray to the chicken breast.
Step 2
Marinate the chicken with the Sazón Tropical Seasoning and lemon juice.
Step 3
Chop all the vegetables in small cubes.
Step 4
Add olive oil, salt and pepper to the vegetables.
Step 5
Place the vegetables in a pan and cook it in the air fryer for 20 minutes at 400 F, covered with foil.
Step 6
Add the chicken to the pan and cook everything together for 7-15 minutes at 375 F. Smaller chicken breasts take less time, larger take more.
Step 7
To test chicken for doneness, poke with a fork. If juices run clear (not pink or red), cut into the thickest part of the chicken. If it is opaque rather than transparent or slimy looking, it is done. If the juices are red or pink, continue cooking and checking every two minutes. Alternatively, if you have a meat thermometer, the temperature must read 165 F.
Notes
You can cook the chicken breast whole or cut it into pieces. The smaller the chicken pieces the less cooking time it needs.
Substitutes for Sazón Tropical Seasoning for this amount of chicken are 1 teaspoon of Garlic and Parsley Seasoning and ½ tsp of Sazonador Fajita Seasoning.
For vegetables you can use any vegetables such as onions, zucchini, eggplant, and carrots.
