Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili paste or sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, chili paste, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, mixing well to coat. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
