Equipment

Ingredients

  • 600 g boneless skinless chicken breast cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoons chicken seasoning mix
  • 1 tablespoon light olive oil
  • 1 green bell peppers seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 red bell peppers seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 red onion cut into 1-inch pieces

Equipment

  • 4-6 skewers [Note 1]
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Place the chicken in a medium bowl, drizzle with the olive oil, add the seasoning, and toss to coat [Note 2].
  • Prepare the skewers by threading chunks of chicken, peppers, and onion onto the skewers, alternating chicken with vegetables until the skewer is full.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 195°C/ 390°F, then carefully place the chicken skewers in the air fryer basket [Note 3].
  • Air fry chicken kebabs for 10-15 minutes, turning them once halfway through the cooking time.
  • The kabobs are cooked when the chicken chunks have reached an internal temperature of at least 74°C/ 165°F in the center [Note 4]. If required, cook for additional 2-3 minute intervals until all kebabs have reached this temperature.

Notes

  1. You can use metal or wooden skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water while the chicken is marinating.
  2. Optional step: Cover and leave to marinate if the fridge for 1-2 hours. This is useful if you want to start preparing this recipe ahead of time.
  3. If your air fryer is prone to sticking, lightly spritz or brush the basket with olive oil before you add the chicken kabobs.
  4. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature in the center of the largest chunks of chicken. Test a few to ensure that your kabobs have cooked evenly. The temperature should read 74°C/ 165°F or higher.
