What’s in Air Fryer Stir Fry?
MEAT: Chicken is always a healthy protein choice, but strips of leftover beef, steak bites, pork, and shrimp will go great with the broccoli and bell peppers, too! Make it vegetarian and use tofu or seitan!
SAUCE: We love this basic recipe, but there’s room for so many variations! Ready-made stir fry or teriyaki sauce saves time and can be made spicy by adding a little sriracha or some red pepper flakes!
Veggie Variations
Broccoli and bell peppers add different colors and nutrients, but feel free to toss in onions, baby corn, sliced mushrooms, cauliflower florets, and sliced water chestnuts.
How to Make Air Fryer Stir Fry
- Season chicken as directed in the recipe below.
- Place all ingredients in a single layer in the air fryer and cook until the chicken is cooked through, shaking the basket halfway through.
- Heat sauce in the microwave and toss cooked chicken and vegetables with sauce.
- Garnish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions before serving.
Storing Leftovers
Keep leftover air fryer stir fry in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the air fryer and add to a bed of salad greens, tuck into a pita pocket, or make an energizing wrap for a workday lunch. Or freeze portions in zippered bags for up to 4 weeks and reheat from frozen in the air fryer.
