Ingredients
- 2 boneless chicken breasts cut into bite-size chunks
- 2 cups broccoli florets fresh or frozen
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
- Chop chicken into chunks and toss with oil + seasoning.

- Load it all into the air fryer basket (try to spread it out evenly).
- Air fry at 380°F for 12–15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway.
