Air Fryer Chicken Souvlaki

I prepped the chicken for tonight's dinner—Air Fryer Chicken Souvlaki—before heading out the door this morning. Thanks to the recipe from Air Fryer Yum, this dinner was ready in minutes.


We served the Souvlaki with pita bread, sliced red onion, perfectly ripe tomatoes from Coles Farm Stand, and some Tzatziki Sauce. Click here for that recipe.


Ingredients-

1 lb Boneless, skinless Chicken breasts
1/2 tbsp Oregano
1 tbsp Oil
3/4 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Paprika
1/4 tsp White pepper
1/4 tsp Black pepper
1/8 tsp Cayenne pepper
1/2 tbsp  Lemon juice


Method-
Mix salt, spices, herbs, oil, and lemon juice in a bowl and set aside


Wash and pat the chicken dry with a clean paper towel.


Cut chicken breast into 2-inch bite-sized pieces.


Combine the chicken bites with the marinade till well coated. Set aside in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 30 minutes.


While the chicken is marinating, soak the bamboo skewers in water to keep them from burning during cooking.


When ready to bake, thread the chicken pieces on the skewers till all the meat has been threaded.


Place chicken skewers in a parchment paper-lined air fryer basket.


Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time. 

Internal temperature should be at least 165°F. 


Let it rest for 2 minutes.
