WHAT EQUIPMENT DO I NEED?
This recipe is super easy! You don’t need very much equipment for this recipe which is what we love here on the blog! All you’ll really need are bowls, a knife and cutting board, some measuring cups/spoons and skewers.
Note that the skewers are totally optional. You don’t need to put this chicken on skewers if you don’t have the time or do not want to! Skewers are nice for portion sizes and if you’re hosting since they are easy to just grab and eat! I just get mine from the dollar store!
Here are some of my Amazon favs:
CAN I SUBSTITUTE/ADD ANYTHING OUT?
You sure can! I ALWAYS encourage creativity when it comes to making my recipes! I use a pre-made Greek seasoning mix however, you can make it yourself as well! Generally, I see Greek seasoning made of oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, basil, dill, black pepper and salt. If you don’t like a certain spice, feel free to omit it!
For this recipe, I used chicken breasts as I love to enjoy these skewers with salad on the side for a healthy lean lunch but you’re welcome to use any part of the chicken or even protein you’d like.
Full-fat Greek yogurt I find keeps this recipe super moist however, if this is not available to you, you can also substitute with plain yogurt, buttermilk or sour cream.
Aside from this, I would keep the lemon juice, honey and olive oil as is! These ingredients are key factors in how delicious these turn out but of course, use what you’d like!
WHAT DOES AIR FRYER GREEK YOGURT CHICKEN SKEWERS TASTE LIKE?
Air Fryer Greek Yogurt Chicken Skewers offer a delightful blend of tangy Greek yogurt, zesty lemon, and aromatic herbs and spices. The chicken is tender and juicy, with a subtle Mediterranean flavor profile that’s both refreshing and satisfying.
HOW LONG DOES IT KEEP FOR?
Air Fryer Greek Yogurt Chicken Skewers can last for up to 3 days in the refrigerator when stored in an airtight container. However, for the best taste and texture, it’s recommended to consume them within 1-2 days.
Honestly, chicken breasts can easily get super dry so if you have the time, I would just make enough for leftovers the next day and cook it fresh as often as you can but I understand life gets busy and you want to make a big batch to meal prep with!
I would recommend heating in the microwave with a damp paper towel or adding a tablespoon of water to the dish to keep it’s moisture!
INSPIRATIONS FOR THIS RECIPE?
I have been trying to step out of my comfort zone a little bit and create new recipes that are great for busy weeks! I love how flavourful these skewers are and are also so perfect if you’re hosting as well!
Although I love cooking in the air fryer, these skewers could also go so well on the grill on a beautiful summer night with a fresh and delicious Greek salad.
This Greek chicken recipe may not be authentic but it surely is delicious!
ANY OTHER NOTES?
Yes! If you plan on using skewers, try and soak them in water for 10-20 minutes. This way the skewers won’t burn as fast while the chicken is cooking.
