Garlic and Parmesan Chicken Skewers

Garlic and Parmesan Chicken Skewers

Ingredients (for 4 skewers):

2 chicken fillets (about 400 g), cubed

2 tbsp olive oil

2 garlic cloves, minced

4 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp sweet paprika

1/2 tsp dried Italian herbs or thyme

Salt and pepper

Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Skewers (wooden or metal)

Preparation:

Prepare the marinade:
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, paprika, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper.

Add the chicken cubes and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

Assemble the skewers: Thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers.

Lightly roll them in the grated Parmesan cheese, pressing down to ensure the cheese adheres well.

Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (390°F) for 3 minutes.

Place the skewers in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning halfway through. The chicken should be golden brown and cooked through.

To serve:

Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.

Serve with a yogurt, lemon, and garlic sauce or ranch dip.

Tips:

Soak the wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before use to prevent them from burning.

You can add a few diced zucchini or bell peppers between the chicken pieces for extra freshness
