Ingredients
  

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 tablespoon olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Skewers (wooden or metal)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Metal skewers can be used directly.

    Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss well to coat them evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes for the flavors to infuse.

      Skewer the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.

        Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

          Cook the Skewers: Place the chicken skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).

            Add the Parmesan: In the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken skewers and let it melt slightly as they finish cooking.

              Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the air fryer and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

                Enjoy your Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers with a side of your favorite dipping sauce or a fresh salad!
