Spicy Tomato-Glazed Baked Chicken 🍗✨ | Easy, Healthy & Flavor-Packed!
Hello Hive foodies and cooking enthusiasts! 👋
Today, I’m excited to share a delicious, high-protein recipe that is perfect for anyone looking for a spicy, healthy, and oil-free meal. This Spicy Tomato-Glazed Chicken is packed with bold flavors, perfectly tender on the inside, and beautifully glazed on the outside thanks to an air fryer (or oven).
If you love simple prep work with maximum flavor, this one is for you!
🥗 Ingredients:
Chicken Breast: Washed and cut into bite-sized cubes.
Fresh Garlic: 2-3 cloves, finely grated.
The Glaze Base: Tomato paste
ketchup, barbecue sauce, and a splash of Gloria hot sauce.
Healthy Fat: A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Seasonings: Salt, black pepper, and turmeric.
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions:
Grate the Garlic: Start by grating fresh garlic cloves into a mixing bowl to release all those aromatic juices.
Prepare the Marinade: Add tomato paste, ketchup, BBQ sauce, Gloria hot sauce, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and turmeric into the bowl with the garlic. Mix well until smooth.
Coat the Chicken: Add the cubed chicken breast into the sauce mixture and toss thoroughly until every piece is generously coated.
Marinate: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This allows the chicken to absorb all the spicy and tangy flavors.
Cook in Air Fryer: Arrange the marinated chicken pieces in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Cook at 180°C (350°F) for about 15–20 minutes until cooked through and nicely glazed with a slightly charred edge.
Serve: Serve hot alongside warm steamed white rice or a fresh green salad!
💡 Pro Tip:
Using the air fryer seals in the moisture, keeping the chicken breast juicy without needing extra oil for frying!
