Ingredient Notes

1 cup of Greek yogurt adds a creamy and tangy element; substitute with regular yogurt if needed. 2 tablespoons of lemon juice brighten the dish; fresh lemons are best for flavor. 1 pound of chicken breast, cut into cubes, is ideal for skewering; you can use thighs for added juiciness. 1/2 cup of crumbled feta cheese provides a savory richness; choose high-quality feta for the best taste.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Add cubed chicken to the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated thoroughly. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Meanwhile, thread the marinated chicken onto skewers.
  3. Place the skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and cooked through.

Things I’ve Learned

Always preheat your air fryer for the best results; this ensures even cooking. If you have leftover skewers, store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge. You can reheat them in the air fryer for about 5 minutes at 350°F. For make-ahead prep, marinate the chicken the night before and refrigerate until ready to cook.
