Prepare Chicken and Asparagus
In a medium bowl, toss the chicken pieces and asparagus with olive oil, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

Air Fry
Place the coated chicken and asparagus in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
