Rethink the order of things: in this smart recipe, the cooking comes before the marinade! Fling chicken breasts into the Air Fryer for beautifully bronzed results, with less oil and less mess than traditional frying techniques. Then let the meat absorb a tantalizing mixture of Québec herbes salées, lemon and garlic, for deep-seated flavouring. Check out this crafty interpretation of two-bean salad: white kidney beans meet green beans (spiced and air-fried to tender crisp) in more of those lemony herbs.

Preparation
Fry the chicken
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Lightly oil the basket. Pat the chicken* dry with paper towel and rub with a drizzle of oil; season with ½ the spices and S&P. Place in the air fryer basket and fry, 13 to 15 min., until browned and cooked through.
Make the marinade
Meanwhile, halve the lemon; juice ½ and quarter the remaining ½. Mince the garlic. Halve, peel and mince the shallot. Remove the stem ends of the green beans. Drain and rinse the kidney beans. In a small bowl, combine 1 tbsp water, 2 tbsp oil (double both for 4 portions), the shallot, lemon juice, herbes salées and ½ the garlic.
Marinate the chicken
When the chicken is cooked through, transfer to a shallow bowl and pour over ½ the marinade. Cover with foil. While marinating, toss the chicken a few times.
Start the two-bean salad
In a large bowl, combine the kidney beans, remaining marinade and garlic, and S&P.
Fry the green beans & finish the two-bean salad
In a medium bowl, combine the green beans, a drizzle of oil, the remaining spices and S&P. Place in the air fryer basket and fry, 7 to 9 min., until crisp-tender. Transfer to the bowl of kidney beans; toss well.
Plate your dish
Divide the chicken (slice beforehand if desired) and two-bean salad between your plates. Garnish with the lemon wedges. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
