These healthy yogurt marinated chicken skewers are so easy to make in the air fryer and are perfect as an appetizer, snack, sandwich filler, or on top of a salad.

The Greek flavors in air fryer chicken skewers are out of this world... tart lemon, oregano and thyme, garlic, and tangy yogurt are the perfect Greek combination. The yogurt not only adds a fantastic flavor, but after a couple hours of marinating, it keeps your Greek chicken skewers moist and tender.

For a totally different take on low carb chicken you'll want to try Keto Parmesan Crusted Chicken, too.

The dipping sauce

And then there's the dipping sauce. These air fryer chicken skewers are amazing on their own, but when you add the creamy feta dip to the mix, they are just to die for. Make extra to use it as a salad dressing or to dip veggies and pita chips in, too. If you're just looking for the Yogurt Sauce, we made a separate post for that recipe.

Air fryers

Now about that air fryer... Did you get one for Christmas that you're afraid to use? Thinking about getting one but not sure how much you'll use it? I am here to tell you that these brilliant little appliances have so many wonderful uses in the kitchen. This is the one I have and it's inexpensive, compact and perfect for beginners.

On the other hand, my mom has this one and it is bigger, but holds so much food all at once. It's one of the most popular ones on the market.

We're loving converting some of our old fashioned southern fried recipes into healthier versions. You'll be amazed at the crispy deliciousness in Air Fryer Okra, for example.

Air Fryer Catfish Fillets and Air Fryer Breaded Shrimp are like an old school fish fry, but without the grease! The perfect side to go with them (or serve at breakfast) are Air Fryer Home Fries - so easy!

Easy enough to make even a weeknight a special occasion we love making Air Fryer Lobster Tails, too! They turn out perfectly every single time!

In this case, we're using it like a grill and it leaves the most perfect charred edges on the chicken and lemons. After you make Greek chicken skewers, try it out making wings! I swear they'll crisp up perfectly you'll toss out the deep fryer and never look back.

Making the chicken skewers and sauce

Be sure to give your Greek chicken skewers plenty of time to marinate so the yogurt can do its thing. A couple hours will work just fine, but I always try to put mine in the marinade the night before.

The creamy feta sauce is seriously so easy... just put all the ingredients in a little food processor like this one and blend until creamy. That's it! Don't forget to make extra for other snacks since it's such a versatile dip.

What else should I have with my air fryer Greek chicken skewers?

Make a Greek salad to go on the side (or underneath), or grab some pita and make your skewers into wrap filling. These would also go great with our Mediterranean shrimp flatbread or Greek Shrimp Crostini.

For a traditional side dish that's low carb and keto try our Keto Squash Casserole. If you prefer a cold side dish you'll want to make Salad with Grapefruit. It has the perfect champagne vinaigrette to go along with it.

    Delicious, I love Greek food to begin with but the combination of the chicken skewers with the creamy feta greek sauce was great. We like keeping the sauce on hand for dipping other things now.
