How to make Air Fryer Rainbow Roasted Veggies and Chicken:

Step 1: Chop chop!

Start by chopping all of the ingredients, besides the tomatoes, into bite sized, 1/2 inch pieces.

Once you have everything cut up, mix all together with the seasoning ingredients in a small bowl.

Then combine everything together, except the tomatoes, in a large bowl. Making sure all the veggies and chicken are coated in the seasonings.

Step 2: First round of cooking

After all the ingredients are seasoned, place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket and put the basket in the air fryer.

Turn the air fryer on to 380 degrees F or 193 degrees C for 10 minutes, stirring halfway.

Step 3: Add tomatoes and continue

While that is cooking, cut the cherry tomatoes in half.

Once the timer is up, add the tomatoes to the vegetables. Then, continue to air fry for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the chicken reaches the internal temperature of 165 degrees F or 74 degrees C and the vegetables are done to your liking.

Now, serve everything on top of rice and enjoy.
