  • Total Time: 45 minutes (plus marinating time)
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch thick rounds
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into uniform 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and chop the bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini into similar-sized pieces.
  3. Marinate the Chicken: Whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken to the marinade and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Assemble the Skewers: Thread marinated chicken and vegetables onto skewers, alternating ingredients.
  5. Air Fry the Skewers: Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Cook skewers for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway, until chicken is cooked and vegetables are tender.
  6. Serve: Let skewers rest for a few minutes before serving, garnished with fresh herbs and your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Don’t overcrowd the air fryer for even cooking.
  • Preheat the air fryer for a crispier texture.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Soak wooden skewers to avoid burning.
  • Feel free to experiment with different marinades.
