How we came up with this recipe

Air fryers work best when they can make something that we don’t have to then switch our ovens or hobs on for – and I am SO here for this traybake for this very reason. 

For this summery all-in-one dish, we can feed a family of 4 from one air fryer in the space of 25 minutes. 

Simply serve it up with some microwave rice or Greek flatbreads, and perhaps some Greek Salad. Dinner (or tomorrow’s lunch) DONE.


Air Fryer Greek Chicken Ingredients Notes

The ingredients for Air Fryer Greek Chicken Traybake chopped up and laid out on a counter top.
  • Chicken breast – Dice about 4 chicken breasts, skinless and boneless
  • Veggies – I love the combination of courgettes and red onion for this recipe, but feel free to substitute for whatever you have in
  • Feta – This goes in for the last 5 minutes of cooking time and melts and crisps up slightly at the same time
  • Dried oregano – This gives a lovely seasoning to the whole dish

Substitutions

  • To make vegetarian – You can swap the chicken for a vegetarian/vegan protein option too, adjust your cook times as required
  • Chicken thighs – You can use boneless, skinless thighs instead of breast if you prefer, but bear in mind they will take a little longer to cook. Cut them small and adjust the cooking time to until they’re cooked through

Top tipS

My air fryer 

The one in these photos is a Russell Hobbs XXL one.

I’ve tested 3 air fryers now, and while I’m not saying that this one is THE BEST EVER, I’m really happy with it. It’s easy to fit in the dishwasher, not too expensive and has a basket large enough for 4 people.

Timing 

I cook this in my air fryer for 20 minutes initially, then another 5 with the feta on top, but the exact number of minutes it takes will depend on your machine, the size of your chicken chunks and whether you’re using breast or thigh meat.

Garlicky chicken

If you like your traybakes with garlic, you can add this additional ingredient if you like. Go for 4 cloves, peeled and crushed, OR the equivalent in a paste if you prefer this.
