Jalapeno Peach Chicken Skewers
Jalapeno Peach Chicken Skewers combine juicy chicken, ripe peaches, and jalapenos in a sweet and spicy air fryer recipe.
Ingredients
- 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
- Skewers
- 15 wooden skewers soaked for 30 minutes
- 4 yellow peaches quartered and halved (32 pieces)
- 3 medium jalapeno peppers halved, seeded, and 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 minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken cubes with salt, black pepper, chili powder, and olive oil. Toss until evenly coated.
- Assemble each skewer by alternating peach pieces, chicken, and jalapeno chunks until filled.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly brush the assembled skewers with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the Jalapeno Peach Chicken Skewers in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Air fry for 11–12 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Meanwhile, combine all peach glaze ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until smooth and warmed through.
- Brush the cooked skewers generously with the warm peach glaze.
- Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
Serve with rice, grilled corn, roasted potatoes, fresh salad, or buttery dinner rolls. Fresh parsley or cilantro makes a wonderful garnish. For outdoor cooking, these skewers can also be grilled over medium heat until the chicken is fully cooked.
