Juicy Chicken Skewers with Mediterranean Spice Blend
These flavorful chicken skewers are a perfect combination of simplicity and bold Mediterranean-inspired spices. Marinated in a creamy yogurt and garlic blend infused with za'atar, paprika, and Mediterranean herbs, the chicken becomes tender and packed with aromatic taste.
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.
