Air fryer Greek chicken and veggies is an easy all-in-one meal featuring juicy chicken, colorful vegetables, salty feta and bold Mediterranean-inspired flavors. This is a fresh, savory, bright way to enjoy a wholesome dinner with minimal prep!
Chicken and veggies are an absolute staple.
We eat some version of this combination at least a couple nights per week.
But I do like to keep things interesting with new and different flavors and of course I need easy prep!
This air fryer Greek chicken and veggies checks all those boxes by cooking your protein and vegetables together in one quick, convenient meal.
The chicken stays tender and juicy while the vegetables become perfectly roasted, soaking up the bright flavors of lemon, garlic, and classic Greek herbs.
It’s the kind of meal that feels fresh and satisfying without being heavy, making it just as perfect for summer dinners as it is for meal prepping lunches.
Ingredients
To make this you’ll need:
- Chicken– Go for chicken tenderloins for super fast cooking and the easiest prep. You could also cut chicken breasts into tenders if you prefer.
- Olive oil– Extra virgin.
- Vinegar– White wine vinegar.
- Lemon juice– Fresh is best but bottled will work.
- Garlic– Minced.
- Seasoning– Greek seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Zucchini– A large zucchini chopped.
- Red onion– A small red onion, peeled and diced. You could also slice it into wedges.
- Tomatoes– Grape or cherry tomatoes
- Feta cheese
How to Make
This air fryer Greek chicken and veggies is so easy to make!
Just add the chicken to a large ziplocking bag and set it aside while you make the marinade.
To make the marinade, whisk the oil, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, and seasonings together in a small bowl until evenly combined.
Pour half the marinade over the chicken and then seal the bag, squeezing out the excess air as you do.
Lay the chicken flat in the fridge and let it chill for at least an hour, flipping halfway through.
Just before you are ready to cook the chicken, add the vegetables to a mixing bowl and toss with the remaining marinade.
Set the veggies aside.
Air fry the marinated chicken at 400° for 7 minutes.
After 7 minutes, flip the chicken and add the vegetables to the basket.
Air fry everything for another 7-8 minutes or just until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°.
Serve warm, topped with crumbled feta cheese.
Enjoy!
Serving Suggestions
If you are looking for a light dinner or lunch, this is perfect as is or served over a big bowl of greens.
However, if you are looking to fill out your meal a little more this pairs well with:
- Cucumber Lemon Orzo Salad
- Lemon Rice
- Steamed rice
- Pita bread
Storing Leftovers
This makes for excellent meal prep because leftovers save very well!
Just let everything cool and transfer it into an airtight container or divide it up into several airtight containers for meal prep and refrigerate this for up to 4 days.
Reheat in the microwave until warm.
