Oreo Cheesecake Recipe

What you’ll need

  • 4 Chicken thighs
  • 2 Carrots (medium)
  • 1 Red pepper
  • 1 Courgette
  • 1 Red onion
  • 1 Sweet potato
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp Salt & pepper
  • 400g Long grain rice

Method:

  1. Chop all the vegetables and chicken into even pieces. Let the kids wash and help chop the softer veg with supervision.
  2. In a large bowl, toss everything together with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper – hands-on mixing encouraged!
  3. Load the mixture into your air fryer baskets (you may need to split into two batches).
  4. Set the air fryer to 180°C and cook for 20 minutes, shaking halfway through. Ensure the chicken is cooked through (75°C internal temp) and the veg is soft with crispy edges.
  5. Cook the rice in a saucepan for 15 minutes until tender, then drain.

Finishing Touches:

Sprinkle grated cheese over the hot chicken and veg mix once cooked and let it melt before serving over a bed of rice.

Chef’s Tips:

This is a great way to clear out your veg drawer.

Kids love helping prep and mix – just mind the spice levels.

Works well with boneless chicken breasts or veggie sausages too.
