Air Fryer Chicken Veggie Skewers
🧾 Ingredients:
- 500g chicken breast, cut into cubes
- 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped
- 1 zucchini, sliced thick
- 1 red onion, cut into chunks
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil
🧂 Marinade:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
🔪 Instructions:
1. Marinate the chicken
- Mix chicken with marinade ingredients
- Let sit at least 20–30 minutes (or up to overnight for more flavor)
2. Assemble skewers
- Thread chicken and vegetables alternately onto skewers
- Don’t pack too tightly—leave small gaps for even cooking
3. Air fry
- Preheat air fryer to 190°C (375°F)
- Lightly brush skewers with oil
- Cook for 10–14 minutes, turning halfway through
4. Check doneness
- Chicken should be golden and fully cooked (no pink inside)
- Veggies should be slightly charred and tender-crisp
🍽️ Result:
Juicy chicken breast paired with smoky, tender-crisp vegetables—fast, colorful, and protein-rich.
🔥 Pro Tips:
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 20–30 minutes to prevent burning
- Cut chicken and veggies to similar sizes for even cooking
- Add a pinch of chili flakes for heat
🧠Serving Ideas:
- With rice, couscous, or flatbread
- Over salad with yogurt or garlic sauce
- As a meal-prep protein bowl base
If you want, I can also make a BBQ-style version, a low-carb keto skewer bowl, or a Greek yogurt marinade version.
