Ingredients
- 1/3 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon soy sauce, divided
- 2 teaspoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon unseasoned rice vinegar
- ½ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg, well beaten
- ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 4 chicken tenders, tendons removed
- Olive oil, for spraying
- 5 cups broccoli florets
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon toasted white sesame seeds
- 2 scallions, greens only, thinly sliced
Preparation
- In a medium bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce, 1 teaspoon of the soy sauce, the oyster sauce, and rice vinegar. Stir to combine and set aside.
- Put the flour, egg, and panko into individual shallow containers large enough for dipping the chicken.
- Dredge each chicken tender in the flour and shake off the excess. Dip into the egg, and then coat evenly with the panko. Place the chicken tenders in one layer in the air fryer basket. Spray both sides with olive oil. 5. Place the basket in the air fryer. Select Air Fry, and set the time to 10 minutes and the temperature to 400°F. Press Start/Stop. When alerted, flip the chicken, and then reinsert the basket to continue cooking. Air fry until browned and crispy. The chicken is done when a thermometer inserted in a tender reads 165°F. Remove from the basket and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the broccoli, the remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and the sesame oil. Add the broccoli to the basket and place the basket in the air fryer. Select Air Fry, and set the time to 6 minutes and the temperature to 375°F. Select Toss Reminder and press Start/Stop. When alerted, shake the basket to toss the broccoli, and then reinsert the basket to continue cooking. Air fry until cooked through and beginning to crisp.
- Toss the chicken tenders in the sweet chili mixture. Add the tenders and any remaining sauce over the broccoli in the basket, and then insert the basket in the air fryer. Select Air Fry and set the time to 4 minutes and the temperature to 400°F. Press Start/Stop.
- Serve the broccoli and chicken tenders garnished with toasted sesame seeds and scallions.
