Why Does This Air Fryer Grilled Chicken Fajita Skewers Work?

I can’t believe we are done with the first quarter of the year already. My kids will be out of school soon. This can only mean more food, more backyard grilling, more park playing, and outdoor activities. This grilled chicken kabob recipe will come in handy not only for the reasons mentioned, but also for the following reasons listed below: 

They are super easy to make and requires no real effort. 

Can be prepared the night before. 

High in protein, low on carbs. 

Keto-friendly. 

Theme night dinner friendly. 

Pairs well with any rice dish, like my dill rice or my instant pot Haitian rice. 

Fun to eat. 

The chicken is so tender and astonishingly appetizing.

Filled with lots of flavor and goodness. 

If you’re looking for a low carb and easy dinner, look no further. No need to marinate the chicken for hours either — unless you want to—which will just amplify the flavors even more :). 30 minutes is really all you need to marinate the chicken. The chicken can marinated while you attend to other tasks. 

I’ve made this exact recipe on the grill, but this air fryer version is just as nice, easy, and quick.

As much as I love kabobs, I cannot believe this is the first kabob recipe I am sharing on the blog with you. My friend told me they are called Shashlyk in Ukraine. I seriously love learning new languages…Shash-Lyk…you cannot say this doesn’t sound nice?! 

Okay, back to the kabobs. The process of how to make these babies are outlined in the photos above and also in the directions below in the recipe card. 

Wash, pat dry, and cut the chicken into small size – bite-size pieces and set aside in a bowl. See picture 1.

Add all of the dry ingredients and the vegetable oil to the chicken. See picture 2.

Mix well and allow the chicken to sit for 30 minutes to marinate or overnight.  See picture 3.

While the chicken marinate it’s time to cut the vegetables and set them aside. See picture 4.

Using air fryer skewers or skewer sticks of your choice, thread chicken, onions and peppers onto skewers, similar to the pattern in picture below.

• 

Place the threaded chicken skewers in the air fryer basket, and cook for 8 minutes on 360 degrees. 

Serve warm with your choice of cilantro and or lime. Enjoy!
