Description
Tender cuts of chicken breast are marinated in a savory parmesan sauce and air fried into golden-brown bites. Brush them with extra garlic parm goodness and serve over rice or with veggies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast (cut into 1 inch cubes)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 cup parmesan (freshly grated)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon parsley
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add olive oil, garlic, parmesan, paprika, black pepper, salt, fresh parsley, and lemon juice. Mix until combined. Add the cubes of chicken and toss until well combined. Cover, and set in the fridge for 30 minutes. Prepare the skewers if needed.
- In a small saucepan, add the butter. Melt, then add garlic. Sauté until fragrant. Take the pan off the heat, then pour in parmesan, lemon juice, parsley, and black pepper. Stir to combine. Set aside and keep warm.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Thread a piece of chicken onto a skewer until the skewer is full of chicken. Repeat until you have no remaining chicken.
- Air fry for 18 – 20 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, rotate the chicken. Remove when the chicken is fully cooked and has a light, golden color.
- Brush the cooked skewers with the butter sauce. You can save some sauce to serve on the side. Sprinkle the skewers with any extra parsley or parmesan if desired. Serve and enjoy!
