Step-by-Step Instructions

Place the quartered potatoes in a bowl of cold water and soak for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain, rinse, and dry them very well with a clean towel. Preheat the air fryer for 2 minutes at 190°C/375°F. Toss the potatoes with 1 tsp oil, salt, and black pepper, then spread them in the basket in as even a layer as possible. Air fry for 10 minutes.

While the potatoes start cooking, rub the chicken breast with 1 tsp oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. After the potatoes have cooked for 10 minutes, push them toward the edges of the basket and place the chicken in the center. Cook for another 10 minutes at 190°C/375°F.

Toss the carrot batons with the remaining 1 tsp oil. Remove the chicken briefly, add the carrots to the basket with the potatoes, and arrange the vegetables around the sides. Return the chicken to the center and cook for 10-15 minutes more, until the chicken reaches 74°C/165°F in the thickest part and the juices run clear. If needed, cook for 5 minutes longer. Transfer the chicken to a plate, loosely cover with foil, and let it rest.

Put the frozen peas in a small ovenproof dish or mug with 2 tbsp water. Cover tightly with foil and place it in the center of the air fryer basket where the chicken was. Cook for 10 minutes at 190°C/375°F, until the peas are hot, the potatoes are crisp, and the carrots are tender. Slice the rested chicken and serve with the vegetables and warm gravy.
