Ingredients
• 2 lbs chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 lemon, juice and zest
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin
• Salt to taste
• Pepper to taste
• 2 bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 large red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
• Wooden or metal skewers
- In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice and zest, dried oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Add the chicken breast cubes to the marinade and ensure they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, and red onion onto the skewers, alternating between the chicken and vegetables.
- Place the skewers into the air fryer basket, making sure to leave some space between them for even cooking.
- Cook the kabobs in the air fryer for 12-15 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), turning halfway through the cooking time.
- Once cooked, let the kabobs rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Serve the Healthy Air Fryer Chicken Kabobs with a side of fresh salad, pita bread, or rice for a complete meal.
Q1: Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breast for this recipe?
A1: Yes, you can substitute chicken thighs for chicken breast in this recipe. Just ensure that they are cut into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Q2: Can I skip the marinating step and cook the chicken right away?
A2: While you can cook the chicken without marinating, the Greek yogurt marinade adds depth of flavor and keeps the chicken moist. For best results, it's recommended to marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible.
Q3: Can I use the same marinade for other meats or vegetables?
A3: Absolutely! The Greek yogurt marinade works well with various meats like lamb or pork, and it also adds a delightful tanginess to vegetables like zucchini or eggplant. Experiment with different ingredients to suit your taste preferences.
