Description
Delicious and healthy Air Fryer Cilantro Yogurt Chicken Kabobs featuring marinated chicken breast and fresh vegetables, cooked to perfection in the air fryer for a quick and flavorful meal.
Ingredients
Chicken and Marinade
- 1½ Pounds Chicken Breast, cut into 2-3 inch pieces
- ¼ Cup Plain Coconut Yogurt (or any plain yogurt)
- ¼ Cup Chopped Cilantro
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- ½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ¼ Teaspoon Black Pepper
Vegetables
- 2 Bell Peppers, skin and white membranes removed, cut into 2 inch chunks
- 1-2 Red Onions, peeled and cut into 2 inch chunks
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces about 2-3 inches long to ensure even cooking.
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with plain coconut yogurt, chopped cilantro, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the chicken is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the flavors infuse.
- Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken marinates, chop the bell peppers and red onions into large chunks roughly 2 inches in size. Remove any skin and white membranes from the bell peppers for better texture and taste.
- Assemble the Kabobs: Thread the marinated chicken, red onion, and bell pepper pieces alternately onto skewers, repeating the pattern until all chicken and vegetables are used.
- Air Fry the Kabobs: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the skewers inside the basket and cook for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is cooked through.
- Serve: Carefully remove skewers from the air fryer (the metal skewers will be hot) and serve the kabobs hot for a flavorful meal.
Notes
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water beforehand to prevent burning.
- For more flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
- Cut vegetables into bite-sized, even pieces to ensure uniform cooking.
- For vegetarian or vegan options, cook chicken and vegetables separately.
- Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking and drying out the chicken; internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Be cautious when removing metal skewers from the air fryer as they become very hot.
