Ingredients

  

• 1 chicken breast cut into cubes
• 2 tbsp plain yogurt
• 4 garlic cloves minced
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp granulated garlic
• 1 tsp za’atar
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp Mediterranean spice blend
• Freshly ground black pepper to taste
• Green onions (for garnish)
• 2 tbsp Olive oil

Instructions

 

• In a bowl, combine the plain yogurt, oil, minced garlic, salt, granulated garlic, za'atar, paprika, Mediterranean spice blend, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.
• Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
• Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 10 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.
• Place the skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure even cooking.
• Once cooked, transfer the skewers to a plate. Garnish with sliced green onions and a drizzle of olive oil if desired. Serve alongside fresh green salad and couscous salad for a complete meal.
