Cut 2 chicken breasts into medium bite-sized portions.

Wash and cut baby potatoes in halves with skin on.

In a bowl, add chicken and potato pieces.

Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil, salt, black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon mixed herbs to the bowl.

Mix the seasonings well to coat the chicken and potato pieces.

Let the mixture rest for about 10-15 minutes.

In a separate bowl, add colorful veggies like beans, carrots, and baby corns cut diagonally.

Add the same seasonings (olive oil, salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, mixed herbs, smoked paprika) to the veggies and mix well.

Line the air fryer basket with perforated sheets to prevent sticking.

Add the marinated chicken and potato pieces to the air fryer basket, spreading them evenly.

Preheat the air fryer and set it to 180°C for 8 minutes.

After 8 minutes, flip the chicken pieces for even browning.

Add the seasoned veggies to the air fryer basket around the chicken and potatoes.

Cook everything at 180°C for another 8 minutes.

Check the chicken and potato pieces; if they need more tenderness, air fry for another 5 minutes at 200°C.

Total cooking time is about 21 minutes for the chicken to be soft and tender.
