Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
Seasonings and Cheese:
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Additional Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Skewers (wooden or metal)
Instructions
- Prepare wooden skewers by submerging them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning during air frying.
- Create a flavorful marinade by combining olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl.
- Coat chicken cubes thoroughly in the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-covered. Allow chicken to marinate for 15 minutes to enhance flavor absorption.
- Thread marinated chicken pieces onto pre-soaked skewers, spacing them evenly to promote consistent cooking.
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes, creating an optimal cooking environment.
- Arrange skewers in a single layer within the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding.
- Cook skewers for 10-12 minutes, rotating halfway through to achieve uniform golden-brown exterior and ensure complete internal cooking.
- Remove skewers carefully from air fryer and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added visual appeal and herbaceous flavor.
- Plate skewers immediately, serving alongside complementary side dishes like mashed potatoes or crisp salad for a complete meal experience.
Notes
- Soak wooden skewers in water to prevent burning and ensure even cooking in the air fryer.
- Marinate chicken for at least 15 minutes to enhance flavor absorption and tenderness.
- Leave small gaps between chicken pieces when threading skewers to promote consistent air circulation and crispy results.
- Test chicken doneness by checking internal temperature reaches 165°F using a meat thermometer for safe consumption.
