Ingredients
For the chicken marinade:
1 lb chicken (thighs or breast), cut into bite size pieces
¾ cup Greek yogurt, full fat
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp Tandoori Twist
1 tbsp fresh lemon or lime juice
1 tbsp grated ginger
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tsp salt
For the vegetables:
1 red onion
2 bell peppers
8-10 baby potatoes, parboiled 8-10 minutes
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp Tandoori Twist
1 tsp salt
Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime, cilantro, and a sprinkle of Flavor Pop for a bright, savory flavor.
Instructions
Prepare the marinade: In a large bowl, mix the marinade ingredients and set ¼ cup aside for the potatoes. Add the chicken to the marinade and mix until well coated. Let sit for at least 20-30 minutes (up to overnight).
Prepare the vegetables: Toss vegetables with olive oil, Tandoori Twist, & salt in large bowl. Toss the par boiled potatoes with the reserved ¼ cup of marinade. Let both sit for 10-15 minutes while the chicken marinates.
Skewer
Air Fry: Air fry at 400 F. for 12-15 minutes for chicken breast or 14-18 minutes for chicken thighs, turning half way through, until the chicken reaches 165 F. and vegetables lightly charred.
Optional: For extra char, broil on high for 1-2 minutes.
Finish and serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top, Add a sprinkle of Flavor Pop if using, and garnish with cilantro before serving.
Cooking Tips
Don’t overcrowd the pan or air fryer: Give everything space so it roasts, not steams. Use two pans if needed.
Use thighs for more flavor: Chicken thighs stay tender and flavorful, but breast works too for leaner option—just don’t overcook.
Reserve ¼ cup of the marinade: before adding to the raw chicken to coat the potatoes.
Parboil the potatoes for 8-10 minutes: so they cook through and brown evenly.
