Ingredients
  

  • 8 chicken thighs skinless
  • 1 red onion roughly chopped
  • 1 red capsicum chopped
  • 1 zucchini chopped into thick halfmoons
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 lemon cut into wedges
  • salt
  • 2 cups risoni pasta cooked
  • 1 cup basil leaves fresh
  • 0.5 cup olives
  • 100 g feta crumbled
  • Tzatziki to serve
  • 2-3 cups spinach leaves

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine chicken, red onion, capsicum, and zucchini. Drizzle with olive oil, Italian seasoning, lemon, and season with salt. Toss well, then transfer to the air fryer basket in a single layer (cook in batches if needed) and air fry at 180°C for 20 minutes, turning halfway, until the chicken is golden and cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

  • Meanwhile, cook risoni according to packet instructions. Drain and toss with fresh basil leaves, olives, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Allow to cool slightly before portioning.
    0.5 cup olives, 100 g feta, Tzatziki, salt
  • Add spinach to the containers. Divide risoni salad evenly among 4–5 airtight containers. Top each with chicken thighs and roasted vegetables. Scatter with feta. Add a lemon wedge to each container and pack tzatziki in a separate small container for serving.
    0.5 cup olives, 1 red onion, 1 zucchini, 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 2-3 cups spinach leaves, salt

Notes

  • Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat chicken, vegetables, and risoni in the microwave before serving, then top with tzatziki and a squeeze of lemon.
  • For freshness, you can also pack basil, olives, and feta separately and add them just before eating.
