- 1 lb chicken breast: Cut into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese: This adds a savory, cheesy flavor.
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs: For that crispy coating.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil: Helps the marinade stick and adds moisture.
- 4 cloves garlic: Minced for a robust garlic flavor.
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika: Adds a hint of smokiness and color.
- 1/2 teaspoon salt: Enhances all the flavors.
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper: For a touch of heat.
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano: Brings a lovely herbal note.
- Fresh parsley: Optional, for garnish and a pop of color.
- Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Prepare the marinade by combining olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano in a large bowl.
- Marinate the chicken by adding cubed chicken breast to the marinade and tossing until evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Prepare the skewers by threading the marinated chicken cubes onto them, leaving space between each piece.
- Coat the skewers by rolling them in a mixture of grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs.
- Air fry the skewers in a single layer for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- Ensure chicken cubes are uniform in size for even cooking.
- Preheat the air fryer for best results.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
- Check the internal temperature of the chicken to reach at least 165°F (75°C).
