Optional Add-Ons & Extras:
Fresh lemon or orange zest for extra citrus flavor
Cracked black pepper or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick
Chopped fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish

Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. This ensures even cooking while keeping the chicken juicy.
Step 2: Prepare the Frozen Meal
Remove the meal from the box and plastic film, keeping the food inside its tray.
Separate the chicken from the vegetables to ensure even cooking. Place the chicken directly in the air fryer basket.
Cover the vegetables with foil to prevent them from overcooking or drying out.
Step 3: Air Fry the Citrus Chicken & Vegetables
Chicken Only: Cook at 375°F for 12-14 minutes, flipping halfway through for even heating.
Vegetables: After 6 minutes of cooking, place the vegetables in the air fryer on a small air fryer-safe dish and continue cooking for another 6-8 minutes until fully heated.
For Extra Flavor: In the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the chicken with additional citrus glaze or a light drizzle of honey.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
Carefully remove the chicken and vegetables from the air fryer and let them rest for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh lemon zest, chopped herbs, or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
