Calories: 293kcal
Equipment
- Wooden or metal skewers (soak wooden skewers for 20 minutes)
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 2 TBSP Harissa paste
- 2 TBSP olive oil
- 1 TBSP Greek yogurt
- 1 TBSP fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp smoked paprika (or sweet paprika)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 TBSP chopped fresh cilantro or parsley (plus extra for garnish)
- 1 red bell pepper (cut into 1-inch chunks)
- 1 red onion (cut into 1-inch chunks)
- salt (to taste)
- black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together all of the ingredients, except the chicken.
- Add the chicken breast cubes and toss to evenly coat.
- Cover and marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes (or overnight for deeper flavor).
- Thread the marinated chicken, pepper and onion alternately onto skewers, aiming for 4-5 chicken pieces per skewer.
- Set the air fryer to 400°F and preheat for 3 minutes, if your model requires it.
- Place skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap (cook in batches if needed). Air fry at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Remove skewers from the air fryer and let rest for 2 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish.
Notes
Serve with tzatziki or hummus for dipping.
