Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless chicken breast cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
  • Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, toss to coat, and let sit for 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge).
  • Soak wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes to prevent burning, then thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (195°C) for 3 minutes.
  • Arrange the skewers in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don't touch.
  • Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Let rest for 2 minutes before serving with tzatziki or pita bread.
