- Serving dish
Ingredients
- 5 oz boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon red onion
- 1 tablespoon red bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon yellow bell pepper
- 1 oz zucchini
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander
- ½ teaspoon dried garlic
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Cut the bell peppers and onion into small pieces, about an inch and a half wide. Slice the zucchini into rounds about a fifth of an inch thick. Similarly, dice the chicken breasts into small cubes.
- In a bowl or marinating container, mix all the spices, soy sauce, and a bit of vegetable oil.
- Add the diced chicken to the marinade. Mix well to ensure every piece is coated with the marinade. Let it marinate at room temperature for about 40 minutes. If you wish to marinate for longer, refrigerate the chicken.
- After 40 minutes, preheat your air fryer—mine’s the Instant Vortex Plus XL—to 350°F (175°C).
- Slide the marinated chicken and veggies onto skewers, switching between chicken and vegetables. Metal skewers are my go-to, but if you're using wooden ones, make sure to soak them in water for about half an hour before putting everything together.
- Arrange the kabob skewers in the air fryer basket. If you have smaller pieces, they'll need about 10 minutes to cook. When using wooden skewers, lay the kabobs directly on the basket's bottom.
- Remember to flip them once after 5 minutes. The exact cooking time can vary based on the meat's size. Ensure the chicken breast hits an internal temperature of 150°F (66°C). Be careful not to overcook and dry out the chicken. If you're unsure, pull out a piece, cut it, and check for a light gray color inside.
- When the kabobs are ready, typically around 10 minutes, remove them from the air fryer basket. You may add some lettuce leaves and your favorite sauce to the kabobs.
- Serve while hot and enjoy your meal!
