Description
These Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers are a quick and flavorful appetizer or main dish, featuring tender chunks of chicken seasoned and air fried to perfection, then brushed with a rich garlic parmesan sauce for an irresistible taste.
Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chicken seasoning
Sauce
- ½ cup garlic parmesan sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces. Toss them with the olive oil and then coat evenly with the chicken seasoning to ensure flavorful bites.
- Skewer the Chicken: Thread the chicken pieces tightly onto 6-inch bamboo skewers, arranging about 4 pieces per skewer to fit your air fryer basket.
- Air Fry the Chicken: Place the skewers in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F for 10 minutes. You may need to do this in multiple batches depending on the size of your air fryer (6-quart capacities typically fit 8 skewers at once).
- Brush with Sauce and Continue Cooking: Carefully open the air fryer, flip the chicken skewers, and brush the garlic parmesan sauce over them. Return to the air fryer and cook for another 2 minutes at 400°F to let the sauce set.
- Serve: Remove the skewers from the air fryer, brush with the remaining garlic parmesan sauce, and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with fresh chopped parsley and grated parmesan cheese for an extra burst of flavor.
Notes
- Chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts for juicier skewers.
- Use soaked bamboo skewers to prevent burning if your air fryer is very hot.
- Adjust cooking time slightly based on your air fryer model and size of chicken pieces.
- Serve with a side of salad or dipping sauce for a more complete meal.
- Make extra garlic parmesan sauce to keep on hand for dipping or drizzling.
