Canola oil is less expensive and has a neutral flavor.

In a large mixing bowl, add the juice of one full lemon.

Add two tablespoons of olive oil.

Add one teaspoon of smoked paprika.

Add half a tablespoon of Italian seasoning.

Add one teaspoon of garlic powder.

Add half a teaspoon of red pepper flakes.

Add half a teaspoon of dried cilantro leaves.

Add kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Whisk to incorporate the marinade.

Add one pound of skinless boneless chicken breast cut into large chunks.

Add three bell peppers (green, red, and yellow) cut into large chunks.

Add one large red onion cut into large chunks.

Toss to coat the chicken and vegetables in the marinade.

Cover and transfer to the fridge to marinate for at least 1 hour.

Cut about half an inch off the bamboo skewers to fit in the air fryer.

Soak the skewers in cold water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning.

Prep the kebabs by inserting the bamboo skewers through the chicken and veggies.

Set the air fryer temperature to 400°F (200°C) and preheat for 3 minutes.

Once preheated, transfer the skewers into the air fryer basket in a single layer.

Air fry at 400°F for about 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Remove from the air fryer and serve.
