Soak wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Cut chicken breast into pieces for skewering.

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder.

Mix the marinade until combined and add the chicken pieces, coating them well.

You can marinate the chicken on the counter for about 20 minutes or refrigerate for several hours or overnight for deeper flavor. If short on time, cook immediately.

Assemble the chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers.

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Place the skewers in the air fryer basket and set the timer for 12 minutes.

After 6 minutes, flip the kebabs for even browning and to prevent sticking.

Check the internal temperature of the chicken with a meat thermometer; it should be at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

If not fully cooked, return to the air fryer at 400 degrees for an additional 3 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
