2. Chicken with Stewed Peppers and Tomatoes. The red produce in this dish, such as tomatoes and bell peppers, contains lycopene, a powerful antioxidant linked to helping reduce risks of heart disease and some cancers.
3. Air Fryer Chicken Breast. When it comes to chicken, we typically like roasting chicken thighs because they stay so juicy and get extra crispy. Chicken breasts have a terrible reputation for drying out, but an air fryer keeps that from happening. The quick cook time means they stay nice and tender and the breading still gets extra crispy. All without a drop of oil. It’s an actual miracle.
4. One Skillet Creamy Lemon Chicken with Asparagus. Delicious, bright, and simple, this lemon chicken recipe is the perfect easy weeknight meal made entirely in just one skillet and in under 30 minutes.
