Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 450 g boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 480 ml chicken broth
  • 15 ml olive oil
  • 1 cucchiaino garlic powder
  • 1 cucchiaino onion powder
  • 1 cucchiaino paprika
  • 1 cucchiaino Salt and pepper to taste Adjust to your preference
  • 240 g frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Method
 

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken thighs with this mixture.
  3. Place the seasoned chicken thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 15 minutes.
  4. While the chicken is cooking, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  5. After 15 minutes, turn the chicken thighs over and add the rice and chicken broth to the basket. Ensure the rice is spread evenly around the chicken.
  6. Add the frozen mixed vegetables on top of the rice. Close the air fryer and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
  7. Once done, check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Let the dish sit for a few minutes after cooking to allow the rice to absorb any remaining liquid for better texture.
