We love chicken breasts that are perfectly browned and crisped, especially using less oil and less mess than traditional frying techniques. Applying a teriyaki glaze not only ensures they’re tasty, but also that the sesame seed garnish will stick when they hop aboard jasmine rice.

- 400g Multicoloured Nantes carrots
- 1 Scallion

Preparation
Roast the carrots
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Lightly oil the basket.
- Halve the carrots lengthwise (quarter if large).
- On a lined sheet pan, toss with the sesame oil and S&P.
- Roast, flipping halfway, 18 to 22 min., until tender.
Cook the rice
- Meanwhile, thinly slice the scallion crosswise, separating the white bottom and green top.
- In a medium pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the white bottom of the scallion and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the rice, 1 ½ cups water (double for 4 portions) and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 14 to 16 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
- Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Fry the chicken
- Pat the chicken* dry and drizzle with oil; season with S&P.
- Place in the air fryer and fry, flipping occasionally, 12 to 16 min., until browned and cooked through.
- In the last 2 min., brush with the teriyaki glaze.
Plate your dish
- Divide the rice, carrots and chicken between your plates.
- Garnish with the sesame seeds and green top of the scallion. Bon appétit!
