Instructions

Prepare the Marinade and Vegetables: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade. Add the chicken pieces and chopped vegetables to the bowl. Toss everything thoroughly to ensure even coating with the marinade.
Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes to ensure even cooking.
Cook the Chicken and Veggies: Place the marinated chicken and vegetables in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. If necessary, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning and tenderness. Your chicken should be fully cooked and the vegetables tender.
Finish and Serve: Transfer the cooked chicken and vegetables to a serving dish. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately while warm for best flavor.

Notes

This recipe is versatile—feel free to swap in other vegetables like cherry tomatoes or mushrooms depending on availability and preference.
For enhanced flavor, marinate the chicken and vegetables for 30 minutes prior to cooking.
Be sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking; cook in batches if needed.
Use fresh parsley as a garnish to add a pop of color and freshness.
