Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Skewers
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
For the Garlic Parmesan Sauce
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer
  • 8 Wooden Skewers Soaked in water

Method
 

  1. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken cubes, olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat.
  3. Thread the seasoned chicken onto the skewers, leaving a small space between each piece. Do not overcrowd.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  5. Place the skewers in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if needed. Air fry for 10-14 minutes, flipping halfway, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F or 74°C).
  6. While the chicken cooks, prepare the sauce. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30-60 seconds.
  7. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley until the cheese is melted.
  8. Place the cooked skewers in a large bowl, pour the sauce over them, and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
