Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 large green pepper, cubed
  • 1 large red or yellow onion, cubed
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1.5 tbsp olive oil

Method
 

  1. Clean and dry the chicken cubes thoroughly using paper towels.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken with olive oil, lemon juice, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
  3. Cover and let the chicken marinate for 40 minutes.
  4. Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers, alternating with the green pepper and onion pieces.
  5. Preheat your air fryer if necessary and place the skewers in the basket in a single layer.
  6. Cook at 380°F for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through for an even char.

Notes

Ensure chicken pieces are cut into uniform 1-inch cubes to guarantee they cook at the same rate. Soak wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes before using to prevent burning. Leftovers are excellent in high-protein meal prep bowls.
