Instructions

1. 1. Peel sweet potatoes and cut into 3/4-inch cubes. Pat chicken dry and cut into 1-inch cubes.

2. 2. In a large bowl, toss sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon Italian herbs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.

3. 3. In a separate bowl, toss chicken with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon Italian herbs, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

4. 4. Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.

5. 5. Place half the sweet potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, shaking halfway, until tender and caramelized. Remove and set aside. Repeat with remaining sweet potatoes.

6. 6. Place half the chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking halfway, until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove and set aside. Repeat with remaining chicken.

7. 7. Divide chicken and sweet potatoes among serving bowls. Garnish with fresh herbs, avocado slices, or a drizzle of sauce as desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Don’t overcrowd the air fryer; cook in batches for best texture. Uniformly cut pieces ensure even cooking. Store leftovers separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 5-8 minutes for best results. Freeze cooked chicken and sweet potatoes for up to 3 months.
