- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then coat them with the sweet chili mixture, ensuring they’re evenly covered.
Cooking
- Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket and cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

- Cook the Brussels sprouts for 8-10 minutes, shaking halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.
Serving
