    Why you'll love this recipe

    • It's easy to prepare.
    • You only need a few healthy ingredients.
    • The chicken is made with a simple homemade marinade.
    • They can be air fried or grilled.
    • They're super flavorful!

    🍴Ingredient Notes

    Chicken breast, coconut yogurt, peppers, red onion, cilantro, salt and black pepper measured into cups.
    • Chicken Breast - I used Butcher Box chicken breast for this recipe. Thin cut or regular chicken breast will work. The thicker it is, the longer it will need to cook.
    • Bell Peppers - Any color bell peppers will work!
    • Red Onions - You can also swap for sweet onions.
    • Chopped Cilantro - Fresh chopped cilantro works best with this recipe.
    • Plain Coconut Yogurt - Any plain yogurt will work!
    • Seasoning - Salt, Garlic Powder, and Black Pepper.

    🍴Step by Step Instructions

    Step 1: Preparing Chicken

    Start by cutting chicken into small pieces. (About 2-3inches long.)

    Add the chicken to a bowl with coconut yogurt, chopped cilantro, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir together until chicken is fully coated.

    Step 2: Marinating Chicken

    Place chicken in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.

    Step 3: Preparing Vegetables

    Next, prepare the vegetables by chopping to large two inch chunks. (Make sure you remove onion skin + white membranes from bell peppers.)

    Step 4: Layering Skewers

    When you're ready to assemble the skewers, layer them with red onion, bell pepper, and chicken. Repeat until you have used all of the chicken and vegetables.

    Step 4: Air Frying Kabobs

    Air fry the kabobs at 375 degrees for about 18-20 minutes. Serve hot!

    Expert Tips

    • If you plan to use wooden skewers, make sure you soak them in water first to avoid burning. (Especially if you grill them!)
    • Marinate the chicken breast the day before to allow more time for the flavors to soak in.
    • Cut vegetables in bite sized pieces so they cook evenly.
    • Separate chicken and vegetables if you're serving this dish to vegans or vegetarians.
    • Don't have an air fryer? Grill the kabobs!
    • The metal skewers get HOT. Be careful when grabbing them to remove the chicken and vegetables.
    • Do not overcook the skewers or the chicken will get dry.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What should I serve with my Chicken and vegetable Kabobs?

    I love serving this dish with my Cilantro Rice recipe! You can also add the chicken and vegetables into a tortilla and serve taco style.

    Can you stack the chicken kabobs in the air fryer?

    I wouldn't stack too many or it will take much longer for them to cook. They also will not get as crispy. Make sure you move them around halfway through to ensure they cook evenly.

    What other vegetables can I add to my kabobs?

    You can also add zucchini, cherry tomatoes, or yellow squash to the kabobs! Also, feel free to swap red onion for sweet onion.

    Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?

    Yes! To make prep time easier, cut the vegetables and chicken the day before. Marinate the chicken in the yogurt sauce and store separately in the refrigerator until you're ready to assemble the skewers.

    How to store leftovers

    To store leftovers, remove the meat and vegetables from the skewers. Place in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to five days.
