Chef’s notes

Bright, juicy tomatoes, sweet niblets of corn and aromatic basil are the epitome of summer scrumtiousness. The tomatoes soften and burst in the heat and their juices mingle with the light creamy sauce. The chicken, nestled between the veggies, delivers satiating protein and you can decide whether to leave the chicken as whole breasts … or slice ’em up into bite-size pieces. This dish is a winner because it’s made in a single skillet (hello, easy cleanup!), packed with protein, offers up a rainbow of nutrients and goes from stove to table in 45 minutes. It’s simply awesome.

Swap options: For a more indulgent sauce, use cream or coconut milk. For a thinner sauce, use chicken broth or stock.

Preparation

1.

Add the olive oil to a large, deep skillet and warm over medium-high heat. Season one side of the chicken breast with salt and pepper and add

This easy Air Fryer Popcorn Chicken recipe is kid-friendly, lighter and healthier than your typical fast-food version!

Air Fryer Popcorn Chicken

Popcorn chicken is a fun, snackable way to get your protein fix (30 grams per serving!). Originally developed in Taiwan in the 70s and then introduced in the US at Kentucky Fried Chicken in the 90s, popcorn chicken is small bites of crunchy chicken you can eat like popcorn. It’s traditionally deep fried and delicious but obviously, not the healthiest option on the menu. Making this from scratch is easy and another healthy way to enjoy air fryer chicken breast. More of my favorite air fryer recipes are these air fryer chicken nuggets, air fryer chicken tenders, and air fryer chicken sandwiches.

It never ceases to amaze me just how many pointless kitchen gadgets there are out there.
Should you so wish, you can clutter up your kitchen drawers very quickly with contraptions such as a banana
slicer, a butter cutter, an onion peeler, a mango slicer or a strawberry huller.

Why would you buy any of these things when a small sharp knife will effectively do the job? And what about a banana handle gripper (which holds the banana so you can easily peel it), a box butter spreader (which is used to spread butter on corn cobs), a tuna press (which goes over the opened can of tuna so you can drain it easily) or a corn silk remover (which takes the silks off a corn cob)? This is consumerism gone mad.

There is, however, one kitchen gadget I would hate
