# Directions:
01 - Toss chicken pieces with vegetable oil, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl until evenly coated.
02 - Whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, ginger, and sesame seeds in a separate bowl until well combined.
03 - Add zucchini, bell pepper, onion, mushrooms, and broccoli to the chicken. Pour half the hibachi sauce over the mixture and toss to coat evenly.
04 - Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes.
05 - Place the chicken and vegetables in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.

# Expert Advice:
01 -
- Ready in thirty minutes from start to finish, making it perfect for weeknight chaos
- The air fryer creates those gorgeous caramelized edges without standing over a hot stove
- Leftovers reheat beautifully for lunch the next day, if there are any
02 -
- Crowding the air fryer basket will steam everything instead of searing it, so cook in two batches if needed
- The sauce will burn if added before cooking, which is why we only coat with half and save the rest for serving
03 -
- Let the cooked chicken rest for two minutes before serving so the juices redistribute
- Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper for easier cleanup
