Air-Fryer Chicken Feta Roasted Pepper Bake

This is Mediterranean comfort food at its best. Juicy herb-marinated chicken, sweet roasted peppers, garlic, cherry tomatoes and creamy feta all baked together until everything is bubbling in a rich lemon and herb sauce. It's fresh enough for summer, hearty enough for winter, and ridiculously easy to throw together. One tray. Big flavour. Hardly any washing up.

You’ll Need

For the Chicken
600g chicken thigh fillets, cut into bite-sized chunks
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp garlic granules
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp black pepper
Juice of ½ lemon

For the Bake
1 red pepper, sliced
1 yellow pepper, sliced
200g cherry tomatoes
1 small red onion, sliced
3 garlic cloves, finely sliced
150ml chicken stock

Topping
150g feta cheese, crumbled
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Zest of 1 lemon

Optional but Dangerous

Black olives

Sun-dried tomatoes

Warm flatbreads

Tzatziki

Chilli flakes

Method

Preheat your air fryer to 190°C.

Toss the chicken with the olive oil, oregano, garlic granules, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper and lemon juice until evenly coated.

Place the chicken into a foil tray or heatproof dish.

Add the peppers, cherry tomatoes, red onion and sliced garlic around the chicken.

Pour in the chicken stock.

Air fry at 190°C for 18–20 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the chicken is cooked and the vegetables have softened.

Scatter the crumbled feta evenly over the top.

Return to the air fryer for 4–5 minutes at 180°C, until the feta softens and begins to turn lightly golden around the edges.

Finish with the chopped parsley and fresh lemon zest.

Serve immediately with warm flatbreads, fluffy rice or roasted baby potatoes.

Lad Tip: Don't melt the feta completely. Letting it soften while keeping little creamy chunks gives you pockets of salty flavour throughout the dish, which is exactly what makes this bake so good.
