Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 12 oz Brussels Sprouts stemmed and halved
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast diced
- 1 tablespoon Chili Oil
- 2 teaspoons Ground Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
- 1 2 Kosher Salt
- 1 4 Sweet Chili Sauce plus more for serving
Instructions
- Prep the Brussels sprouts by cutting off the stems and halving them. Toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper for a flavorful start.
- Place the seasoned Brussels sprouts in the air fryer basket and cook at 400ºF for 10 minutes. This will give them a nice, crispy texture.
- While the sprouts cook, coat the diced chicken breast in chili oil. Add ginger, garlic powder, chili powder, and salt, ensuring the chicken is fully coated for maximum flavor.
- After 10 minutes, add the chicken to the air fryer basket with the Brussels sprouts. Gently mix everything together to allow the flavors to meld.
- Air fry for an additional 10-12 minutes at 400ºF until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160ºF to 165ºF. Stir halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Add 1/4 cup of sweet chili sauce to the chicken and Brussels sprouts. Stir well to coat everything in the sauce. Air fry or broil for 1-2 minutes to caramelize the sauce, enhancing the flavors.
- Serve with rice, toasted sesame seeds, lime wedges, and extra sweet chili sauce if desired for an extra kick!
Notes
For a spicier kick, increase the amount of chili oil or chili powder in the chicken marinade. No alcoholic drinks allowed, please substitute with a non-alcoholic option.
