Airfryer Greek Chicken

Here we are again, back with a recipe. How exciting. I must admit I am not the maker of this recipe. However, the original and mine are a bit different and mine is in English. You can find the original here if you wish to check it out. I must say, I love this recipe. I think it is very delicious and also a good one to make if you have friends coming over. Especially because you can prep all of it in advance and it’s made vegetarian very easily. The only downside is the time. It does take a while, not necessarily to prepare but the time it needs in the air-fryer. I am always so hungry by the time it is on my plate. I also usually have leftovers. Which can be eaten as lunch the next day, I loved the veggies on a carrot wrap. This is one of my favourite recipes as it always comes out right even that one time when I accidentally switched the cookie temperatures. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do.

Ingredients for 3 people (or two with leftovers)
– Chicken thighs (here they come in a pack of four)
– 230 gr Potatoes
– 1 zucchini
– 1 aubergine
– 1 red onion
– 2/3 bell peppers
– Cherry tomatoes to taste
– 75 gr feta cheese
– Multiple gloves of garlic to taste
– Olive oil
– Basil
– Organo
– Onion powder

What to do?
1. Boil a pot of water
2. Cut the potatoes in fours
3. Boil the potatoes for five minutes

I boil the potatoes as I find this dish not as easily digestible if I don’t pre-cook them. I do know that not everyone has this issue. I do think that while the potatoes are boiling you can go onto the next step. Therefore it will not be any slower than if you chose not to boil them.
4. Cut up all the other vegetables and the onion (except the tomatoes, as they will be added later)
5. Put everything together and mix.

6. Add the potatoes to the bowl too. Make sure to be aware of the pan, as it’s hot.

7. Make sure to stir properly
8. Add your ingredients to your air-fryer

9. Cut up your garlic, and add spices and olive oil until the mixture is an oily ‘sauce’.

10. Put the sauce over the chicken, alternatively, you can dunk the chicken into the sauce. Whatever you prefer will work.

11. Whatever you have left you can add to the vegetables.
12. Put the chicken on top of the vegetables.
13. Set the air-fryer to 180 degrees for 15 minutes.
14. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half
15. Pull the chicken out of the air fryer (make sure not to touch it, as it’s not done and very hot)
16. Shake the vegetables
17. Add the cherry tomatoes
18. Put the chicken back in (the other side than before, so you cook both sides)
19. Set the air-fryer to 160 degrees and another 15 minutes
20. Cut your feta cheese into chunks

21. Add seasoning to your liking (I like basil and parsley)
22. Add honey and stir

23. Put the food on the plate and add some feta cheese

Enjoy!

Some additional notes
You might be able to get away with not boiling potatoes first, I have found that I get an upset stomach when I do not. If you have poor digestion I recommend this step as it will make sure the potatoes are fully cooked through. As ingredients go, you can swap out the aubergine or the zucchini you do not have to put them both in. Usually one is on sale over the other. So I get the cheapest prize. Make sure your chicken doesn’t have any red in it before you eat it. Chicken is white meat therefore it should be white all the way, if you see some red put it in the air-fryer for a bit longer. I found it hard to make the plate look cute and honestly, I was so hungry, I just devoured the food.
