Servings: 3

Preparation Time: 20 minutes

Cooking Time: 30 minutes

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 lb. skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into cubes
• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 teaspoons curry powder
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Salt, to taste
• 2 small bell peppers, seeded and cut into large chunks
• 1 large red onion, cut into large chunks

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken cubes, olive oil, plain Greek yogurt, curry powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until the chicken is evenly coated with the marinade.
2. Refrigerate the marinated chicken for approximately 2 hours, allowing the flavors to infuse and the chicken to tenderize.
3. Once the marinating time is complete, thread the marinated chicken cubes, bell pepper chunks, and red onion chunks onto pre-soaked wooden skewers, alternating between the ingredients.
4. Preheat the Air Fryer to 360 degrees F and grease the Air Fryer basket to prevent sticking.
5. Arrange the chicken skewers in the prepared Air Fryer basket in two batches to ensure even cooking.
6. Air Fry the skewers for about 15 minutes, turning them halfway through to achieve even char and color.
7. Once the chicken skewers are cooked to perfection, remove them from the Air Fryer and gently transfer them onto a serving platter.
8. Serve the hot and sizzling Chicken Skewers as a delectable main dish, accompanied by your favorite sides.

TIPS:

• To enhance the marination process, use your hands to massage the spice-yogurt mixture into the chicken cubes. This ensures that each piece is coated evenly and absorbs the flavors thoroughly.
• Soaking the wooden skewers before threading prevents them from burning during cooking. This step also ensures that the skewers remain sturdy and intact.
• Feel free to adjust the level of spice by increasing or decreasing the amount of cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder taste, you can omit or reduce the cayenne pepper accordingly.
• Experiment with different vegetable combinations, such as adding cherry tomatoes or zucchini to the skewers, for added variety and color.
• Serve the chicken skewers with a refreshing side salad, fluffy rice, or warm naan bread to create a balanced and satisfying meal.
