Air Fryer Chicken Kebabs (379 Cal)
Nutrition per Serving
Ground chicken, white onion, green onion, and a few spices — shaped onto wooden skewers and air fried until golden. No egg binder, no breadcrumbs, no oil. The onion keeps the meat moist and the skewers hold the shape. This is the kind of kebab you'd make on a grill, except it's done in 18 minutes with zero cleanup.
The trick is wet hands when shaping — ground chicken is sticky enough to hold on the skewer without a binder if you work it with damp fingers. Dice the white onion fine so it mixes evenly through the meat. Similar approach to our Air Fryer Chicken & Onion Skewers, but with ground meat instead of whole pieces.
At 379 calories and 44g of protein per serving with almost no carbs, this fits any calorie target. Pair with rice from our 1,500-calorie meal plan or eat them straight off the skewer as a high-protein snack. Use our macro calculator to see how this fits your daily targets.
