Classic Chicken Kebab
Tender, juicy chunks of chicken and vegetables perfectly seasoned with Greek spices and just a hint of lemon make this the ultimate accompaniment to a freshly made pita and side of tzatziki. The bright and fresh flavors of this dish, which I first tasted at a Greek restaurant, had me hooked from the first bite. This is my interpretation of that dish for the air fryer.
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, oregano, basil, lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar.
- Spray six skewers with olive oil cooking spray.
- On each skewer, slide on a piece of chicken, then a piece of bell pepper, onion, zucchini, and finally a tomato and then repeat. Each skewer should have at least two pieces of each item.
- Once all of the skewers are prepared, place them in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and pour the olive oil marinade over the top of the skewers. Turn each skewer so that all sides of the chicken and vegetables are coated.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, preheat the air fryer to 380°F. (If using a grill attachment, make sure it is inside the air fryer during preheating.)
- Remove the skewers from the marinade and lay them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If the air fryer has a grill attachment, you can also lay them on this instead.
- Cook for 10 minutes. Rotate the kebabs, then cook them for 15 minutes more.
- Remove the skewers from the air fryer and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
INGREDIENT TIP:
If you prefer chicken breasts, you can substitute them in place of the chicken thighs.
