A quick and flavorful air fryer chicken teriyaki recipe served with crisp-tender vegetables. Perfect for a healthy weeknight dinner with a delicious homemade teriyaki sauce.
1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup sliced bell peppers (red and yellow)
1 cup sliced carrots
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
2 green onions, thinly sliced
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic to make the teriyaki sauce.
In a separate small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth and set aside.
Place the chicken pieces in a medium bowl and toss with vegetable oil and half of the teriyaki sauce. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
Add the marinated chicken pieces to the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking.
While the chicken is cooking, toss broccoli florets, sliced bell peppers, and sliced carrots with the remaining teriyaki sauce.
After the chicken has cooked 10 minutes, add the vegetables to the air fryer basket and cook for an additional 10 minutes, shaking halfway, until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender-crisp.
Transfer the chicken and vegetables to a large bowl. Pour the reserved cornstarch mixture into the remaining teriyaki sauce and microwave for 30 seconds or until thickened, stirring to combine.
Pour the thickened sauce over the chicken and vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
