Instructions:
="font-weight:400"> 1. Add your potatoes to your Instant Pot and cover them with water. Cook under pressure for 5 minutes, followed by a quick pressure release. If you don't have an Instant Pot, you can use a saucepan for this stage.
2. Meanwhile, mix the marinade ingredients in a bowl, add the chicken and set aside.
3. Combine your spice mix and put half on the sliced peppers and the other half on the cooked drained potatoes.
4. If you are using a two-drawer air fryer, place the peppers and potatoes on one side and the chicken on the other side. If you only have one drawer, put the vegetables first and then the chicken.
5. Fry the vegetables for 30 minutes at 180°C and the chicken for 15 minutes at 195°C. (Forget double drawer and not selecting Sync Finish, so the two trays end together!)
6. When there are 5 minutes of cooking time left, place the chopped chorizo around the chicken.
7. Once the cooking time is over, place the crispy potatoes and pepper on a plate, with the chicken and chorizo and scatter over the olives, tzatziki and fresh dill.
Enjoy an exotic and tasty dinner that is quick and easy to prepare!
