Steps:
- Stir apricot preserves, ginger paste, and rosemary together in a small bowl. Microwave for about 20 seconds to make preserves easier to spread.
- Pound chicken breasts to uniform thickness and pat dry with a paper towel. Rub with oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray the basket with cooking spray and add chicken breasts in a single layer.
- Air fry for 4 minutes. Flip and rotate the position of the chicken breasts. Brush with the apricot mixture. Return basket to the air fryer and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 8 to 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Transfer chicken to a plate, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let sit for 5 minutes. Cut chicken breasts into slices and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for even cooking and easy skewering.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in the apricot glaze helps infuse it with flavor and tenderize it.
- Use fresh apricots: Fresh apricots give the glaze a bright, summery flavor. If you don't have fresh apricots, you can use thawed frozen apricots or canned apricots, but the flavor will be less intense.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: This helps prevent the chicken from drying out or burning.
- Baste the chicken frequently: Basting the chicken with the glaze while it cooks helps keep it moist and flavorful.
- Serve the chicken hot: Apricot-glazed chicken kabobs are best served hot off the grill, with a side of your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Apricot-glazed chicken kabobs are a delicious and easy-to-make summer dish that's perfect for grilling. The sweet and tangy apricot glaze complements the savory chicken perfectly, and the kabobs are a fun and easy way to serve chicken at your next party or gathering. So next time you're looking for a flavorful and festive dish, give apricot-glazed chicken kabobs a try!
