Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Metal Skewers

Ingredients
  

  • 1+½ Pounds Chicken Breast
  • 2 Bell Peppers

  • ¼ Cup Chopped Cilantro
  • ¼ Cup Plain Coconut Yogurt Any plain yogurt will work!

Instructions
 

  • 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.
  • Place chicken in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.
  • Next, prepare the vegetables by chopping to large two inch chunks. (Make sure you remove onion skin + white membranes from bell peppers.)
  • 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.
  • Air fry the kabobs at 375 degrees for about 18-20 minutes. Serve hot!

Notes

Helpful 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 vegan 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.
