Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450 g) chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Wooden or metal skewers (if wooden, soak in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning)

Optional Garnish:

  • Additional grated Parmesan
  • Chopped parsley
  • Lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade:
    • In a large bowl, mix olive oil, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Marinate the chicken:
    • Add the chicken cubes to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
  3. Assemble the skewers:
    • Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece for even cooking.
  4. Preheat the air fryer:
    • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
  5. Cook the chicken:
    • Place the skewers in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t overlap.
    • Air fry for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and slightly golden.
  6. Serve:
    • Transfer the skewers to a serving platter. Garnish with additional grated Parmesan and chopped parsley, and serve with lemon wedges if desired.

Notes

  • For an extra crispy texture, sprinkle a bit of panko breadcrumbs on the chicken before air frying.
  • You can substitute boneless, skinless chicken thighs for a juicier option.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the air fryer.
