Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Skewers

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • Wooden or metal skewers (wooden skewers soaked in water for at least 30 minutes if using)

Seasoning and Coating

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme blend)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into uniform, bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking. Place them in a mixing bowl ready for seasoning.
  2. Mix the Coating: In a separate bowl, combine garlic powder, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, dried Italian herbs, salt, pepper, and olive oil to create the flavorful coating.
  3. Coat the Chicken: Toss the chicken pieces thoroughly in the Parmesan garlic mixture until every piece is evenly coated for maximum flavor and a crispy texture.
  4. Skewer the Chicken: Thread the coated chicken onto the soaked wooden or metal skewers, leaving some space between pieces for even hot air circulation.
  5. Air Fry the Skewers: Arrange the skewers in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the skewers from the air fryer, let them rest a couple of minutes to lock in the juices, then serve warm with your favorite dips or sides.

Notes

  • Cut chicken into uniform pieces for even cooking.
  • Preheat your air fryer to help achieve crispiness faster.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; leave space for air circulation.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and texture.
  • Let skewers rest a few minutes before serving to retain juiciness.
