Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Skewers
  • 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts Cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil Helps the seasonings stick
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon juice Freshly squeezed
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon pepper seasoning The star of the show
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder Adds depth
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust to taste
  • 4-5 pieces Wooden skewers Soak in water for 30 minutes
For Garnish
  • 1 bunch Fresh parsley or cilantro Adds freshness
  • 1 whole Lemon wedges For extra citrus

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by cutting boneless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they're uniform for even cooking.
  2. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, black pepper, garlic powder, and salt. Whisk until blended, then toss in your chicken pieces to coat them fully.
  3. Thread the marinated chicken onto soaked wooden skewers or metal skewers, aiming for about 4-5 pieces per skewer.
  4. Set your air fryer to 400°F and preheat for about 5 minutes.
  5. Place the skewers in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  6. Once done, let the skewers rest for a few minutes before serving.
