Air Fryer Tequila Chicken

An update on my Creamy Tequila Chicken recipe using an air fryer for the chicken. Easier AND tastier.

Ingredients

• Pasta

• Chicken, chopped

• 1 tbsp garlic, minced

• 1 tbsp jalapeños, chopped

• 175ml chicken stock

• 2 tbsp tequila

• 2 tbsp lime juice

• 110g soft cheese

• 1 red onion, sliced thinly

• Handful of sweet peppers, sliced

• 3 tbsp soy sauce

• Salt
  

Method

1. Cook the pasta

2. In a bowl combine the chicken, onions and peppers.

3. Season with salt and anything else you like (I currently like all purpose seasoning) and drizzle with oil.

4. Air fry at 180C for 20 minutes, shaking occasionally. Depending on your air fryer timings may change so keep checking.

5. For the sauce, add oil to a small pan and heat over a medium heat .

6. Add the garlic and jalapeños and cook for a few minutes.

7. Add the chicken stock, tequila and lime juice, increase the heat and cook until it’s reduced (a bit glaze-like).

8. Remove from the pan and leave to cool for a few minutes, then stir in the soft cheese and soy sauce.

9. Add the chicken mix and sauce to the drained pasta and stir through.
