Description
Juicy and flavor-packed Air Fryer Chicken Skewers, perfect for cozy fall gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast (cubed)
- 1 bell pepper (any color, cut into chunks)
- 1 red onion (cut into chunks)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- Skewers (wooden or metal)
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes while you prep the skewers.
- Prepare the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and cumin. Whisk until well blended.
- Cube the Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes and add them to the marinade. Make sure the chicken is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15-20 minutes, or longer if you have time.
- Assemble the Skewers: Alternate threading the marinated chicken pieces with chunks of bell pepper and red onion onto the skewers, creating colorful patterns.
- Air Fry the Skewers: Arrange the skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they aren’t overcrowded. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Serve & Enjoy: Once cooked, carefully remove the skewers from the air fryer. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or garnish with fresh herbs.
Notes
Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Cut chicken pieces uniformly for even cooking.
