Air Fryer Greek Chicken Souvlaki
This recipe for flavorful Air Fryer Greek Chicken Souvlaki delivers tender, juicy chicken packed with zesty lemon garlic flavor in every bite.
Servings 6
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds chicken breast
- ½ batch Tzatziki Sauce
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, grated
- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Cut the chicken into bite size pieces and add them to a bowl.
- Add the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, dijon mustard, dried oregano, salt and ground black pepper into a small mixing bowl. Whisk until well combined.
- Pour most of the marinade over the chicken. Reserve about 2 tablespoons to brush on the chicken later.
- Toss to combine, making sure all the chicken is coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Prepare the Tzatziki sauce and refrigerate, allowing the flavors to meld while the chicken marinates. If using wooden skewers, this is also a good time to start soaking them in water, which helps prevent them from burning.
- Preheat your air fryer for 5 minutes.
- Add the chicken to the skewers, which should give you 6 skewers total.
- Air fry at 400° for 13-15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F when checked with a meat thermometer. Depending on the size of your air fryer basket, you might need to cook them in 2 batches.
- Brush the reserved lemon garlic marinade over the chicken and serve with the Tzatziki sauce on the side.
