  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Wooden or metal skewers, soaked if wooden

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into uniform bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and easy threading onto skewers.
  2. Mix the Seasoning: In a large bowl, combine grated Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken pieces, then toss everything together until the chicken is well coated with the seasoning mixture.
  3. Thread Chicken onto Skewers: Carefully thread the seasoned chicken pieces onto wooden or metal skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for proper air circulation during cooking.
  4. Preheat Your Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 3-5 minutes to ensure a crispy finish right from the start.
  5. Cook the Skewers: Place the skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning the skewers halfway through to allow even browning and thorough cooking.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Once golden and crispy, remove the skewers from the air fryer. Serve hot with your favorite dips or sides.

Notes

  • Cut chicken into evenly sized pieces for uniform cooking.
  • Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; leave space for hot air circulation.
  • Check internal temperature aiming for 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
  • Sprinkle fresh Parmesan on skewers right after cooking for extra flavor.
