Ingredients
- 15 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Chicken
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for brushing over skewers
Skewers
- 4 medium yellow peaches, quartered, then halved for a total of 32 pieces
- 3 medium jalapeño peppers, halved, seeded, cut into chunks
Peach Glaze
- ½ cup peach preserves
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- To a large bowl, add chicken, salt, pepper, chili powder, and olive oil. Toss to coat.
- To each skewer, thread peach, chicken, jalapeño, chicken, jalapeño, chicken, and peach. (Feel free to arrange the skewers as desired.)
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F.
- Brush the skewers with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to work in batches.
- Air fry the skewers for 11-12 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- While the skewers are cooking, prepare the peach glaze. To a medium saucepan, add peach preserves, olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix until combined and cook until warmed through.
- Once the skewers are done, brush them generously with the glaze.
- Serve warm.
