After using an air fryer for more than three years now, it’s a shame that I haven’t tried making air fryer chicken stir fry yet! So without any further delay, here is my fail-proof air fryer chicken stir fry recipe that’s perfect for your high protein weight loss meal while also satisfying your craving for stir fry chicken to some extent!
I was an absolute sucker for chicken stir fry! I remember gorging uncountable crispy stir fried chicken bites during my pre-fitness era without even batting an eyelid about the calorie consumption!

If you are also in a similar journey like mine, I have a solution to curb our cravings for those crispy chicken stir fry!
And that perfect solution is nothing but my crispy air fryer chicken stir fry which fits right into the high-protein meal that we all fitness enthusiasts aim for!
What is air fryer chicken stir fry?
I agree that the name air fryer chicken stir fry is kind of an oxymoron! I know we are not stirring anything here as everything is getting done on its own inside the air fryer!
But the term “stir fry” invokes that irresistible craving which is quite difficult to ignore and this air fryer chicken stir fry flawlessly satisfies that temptation simply by replicating the same crispy chicken but without the truckload of oil!
Quick tip: Just so you know that excess oil is the hidden culprit in our food which we tend to overlook and then wonder why we are not losing body fat even after having balanced meals!

I really can’t get over pesto! On the contrary, my eternal love towards this classic Italian pasta sauce has gone a notch up when I made this vegan pesto fusilli with zucchini and asparagus using my homemade avocado basil pesto!
This is not a cheat meal recipe!
I do not believe in cheat days! With my experience of 34 kgs/75 pounds of weight loss, I truly believe that real success lies in everyday habits!
A single uncontrolled cheat day, even once in a month, can ruin your weeks of effort and hard work within minutes! But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy good food!
You definitely can! And you must! Simply because mindful eating is a lifelong habit and not a sprint!
You can enjoy good food by becoming smart about it! By being smart I simply mean controlling certain parameters of your meals.
Like being conscious of the portion you are consuming; or having it at the right time and not as a random meal.
For example, a high carb dish like this pesto fusilli is best suited for a fulfilling lunch or even weekend brunch in a moderate portion no matter how tasty it is!
Then you would have enough time to digest the food during the course of the day and carb will give you a good amount of energy to carry out your planned chores. Win-win!

What is new in my quinoa salad with chicken?
I had shared a creamy no-mayo quinoa chicken salad a few months ago which was made with a yogurt based salad dressing.
So of course I have to offer something new this time for you all! And hence comes my quinoa salad with chicken which is infused with a simple yet immensely flavorful dressing.
You just need 4 ingredients to make this very basic salad dressing and I am sure you already have used this dressing in many of your salads if you are a pro-salad lover like me!
All you need is a good quality extra virgin olive oil which is the key flavor base of this quinoa salad with chicken. Then add a good drizzle of fresh lemon juice topping it off with salt & pepper!
Give the dressing a good whisk and voila! You have got your beautiful refreshing salad dressing that’s perfect for any summer salad!
You can use a mason jar too to shake up this easy dressing and use as much or as little as you prefer, saving up the rest for later use!
