Ingredients
  

1.5 lbs chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 teaspoons dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended.

    Add the cubed chicken to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

      Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

        Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.

          Place the skewers in the air fryer basket, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded (you may need to cook them in batches).

            Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice golden color.

              Once cooked, remove the skewers from the air fryer and let them rest for a couple of minutes.

                Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges for an extra zing!
