Air Fryer Chicken Stew

There’s nothing quite like a comforting bowl of chicken stew when the weather starts to turn chilly. This deliciously simple version is made entirely in the air fryer, with tender chicken, sweet carrot and soft, flavoursome leek all brought together in a rich, warming gravy.

Always check your manufacturer's instructions if you're unsure. Serve with crusty bread for mopping up every last bit of that delicious gravy, or add some creamy mashed potato for the ultimate comfort food.

Air Fryer Prawn Curry

This air fryer prawn curry is quick enough for a week night but tasty enough to make you feel like you’ve just been whisked away to a beachside café in Goa! Juicy prawns dive into a creamy, spiced coconut sauce that’s ready in minutes, and the air fryer does all the heavy lifting. No spluttering pans, no standing over the hob, just you, your prawns, and a spoon you’ll be tempted to “accidentally” lick.
