Season with the olive oil, salt, and pepper, mixing well to evenly coat all the ingredients.<\/li>\n<li>Thread the chicken, bell pepper, and onion alternately onto the prepared skewers. Proceed carefully to avoid overcrowding the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.<\/li>\n<li>Preheat your air fryer to 200\u00b0C for 3 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and lemon juice to prepare the glaze.<\/li>\n<li>Arrange the skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap. Cook for 6 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Remove the basket and brush the skewers with half of the honey and garlic glaze. Return to the air fryer and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and lightly golden, and the vegetables are tender yet still crisp.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Serving &amp; Leftovers<\/h2>\n<p>Serve the skewers hot, perhaps alongside a side of basmati rice or a simple green salad. Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. We recommend gently reheating them briefly in the air fryer to maintain their delightful texture.<\/p>\n<h2>Nutrition<\/h2>\n<p>Nutritional values are estimates and may vary depending on ingredients and portions.<\/p>\n<h2>One Last Thing<\/h2>\n<p>Adopting a methodical approach to weekly cooking transforms busy evenings into gratifying moments.
