Air Fryer Paleo Chicken and Vegetable Stir-Fry with Brown Rice

This air fryer paleo chicken and vegetable stir-fry is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's packed with flavor. The chicken is cooked to perfection in the air fryer, and the vegetables are tender-crisp. This dish is served over brown rice for a complete meal.

This recipe was inspired by my love of Chinese takeout. I wanted to create a healthier version of my favorite dishes that I could make at home. This stir-fry is a great way to get your veggies in, and it's also a great source of protein. I like to use chicken breasts in this recipe, but you could also use shrimp, tofu, or beef. The vegetables are also customizable. I like to use broccoli, bell peppers, and onions, but you could also use snap peas, carrots, or any other vegetables you like.
