Quick and Easy Healthy Meal
Ingredients:
- 1 bag of fresh green beans (about 12 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- Seasonings: garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper (to taste)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
- ¼ cup of your favorite BBQ sauce
Instructions:
- Prepare the Green Beans:
- Wash and trim the green beans, removing any tough ends.
- In a large bowl, add the green beans.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the green beans.
- Season the green beans with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to taste. Toss to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the seasoned green beans and mix well.
- Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (188°C) for about 3 minutes.
- Place the green beans in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 370°F (188°C) for 7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
- Prepare the Chicken Breasts:
- While the green beans are cooking, prepare the chicken breasts.
- In a resealable plastic bag, add the chicken breasts.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken.
- Add the BBQ sauce to the bag, ensuring the chicken is well-coated.
- Season the chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to taste.
- Seal the bag and massage the chicken to evenly distribute the sauce and seasonings.
- Once the green beans are done, remove them from the air fryer and set aside.
- Cook the Chicken Breasts:
- Place the coated chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Cook at 370°F (188°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is no longer pink in the center.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the chicken breasts are cooked, remove them from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve the chicken breasts alongside the crispy Parmesan green beans.
- Enjoy your quick and easy healthy meal!
