Most of my meal prep lunches contain chicken breast. I used to only eat chicken thigh but with chicken breast being 0 points on Weight Watchers and such a low calorie protein, it is the big winner.
I have finally figured out how to make chicken breast tender and juicy in the air fryer! YOGURT! Yep, call me crazy but marinating your chicken in yogurt from 1 hour to 24 hours it makes your chicken super moist and so darn delish!
These are no exception! I combine yogurt with a small can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and WOW they are amazing.

Ingredients
- 4 large Chicken Breasts
- 30 gm Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce
- 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt 0%
- 2-2/3 cup White Rice
- 2 cups Pineapple
- 1 Lime
- 1 tbsp Cilantro
Honey Chipotle Sauce

- 2 tsp Minced Garlic
- 2 tbsp Sugar Free Ketchup
- 1 tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar
- 1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Corn Starch
Instructions
- Mix yogurt and chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- Pat your chicken breasts dry then mix into your yogurt mixture. Leave whole or cut into pieces.
- Refrigerate for 1 to 24 hours
- Cut your chicken breasts into pieces if you haven't already and put onto skewers.
- Mix up your sauce ingredients in the sauce pan, except for corn starch and bring to a quick boil then turn down to medium.
- Mix your cornstarch with water until it dissolves then whisk into your sauce. Turn down to simmer.
- Start your rice as that will take roughly 35 minutes.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400
- Line up 4 chicken skewers in the air fryer, brush some of your sauce on them and cook for 16 minutes. Flip half way and brush more sauce on the flipped side.
- Once your first batch of chicken skewers are done, lay onto the cookie sheet and repeat the process for cooking your 2nd batch.
- Drain your pineapple and set aside.
- When your rice is cooked, place 2/3 cup of rice into each bowl then add your pineapple.
- Either you can add your chicken to your bowls, leaving them on the skewers or taking them apart like I did.
- Brush more sauce onto your chicken and top it all with cilantro and lime wedges.
Notes
Rice = 4
Pineapple = 0
