So, if you’re in search of a flavor-packed, fuss-free dish that’s also versatile, I invite you to break out your air fryer and give these tasty garlic parmesan chicken skewers a try!
Chicken Breasts: I used boneless skinless chicken breasts, which are lean and perfect for skewering. If you prefer dark meat, you can use boneless skinless chicken thighs as a tasty alternative. Olive Oil: Use extra virgin olive oil to add rich and fruity flavor to the marinade. Lemon Juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice brings a zesty, citrusy kick to the dish. Lemon Pepper Seasoning: Provides the brightness of lemon with the boldness of black pepper. If you don’t have it on hand, you can make your own lemon pepper seasoning. Garlic: Infuses the marinade with a robust, aromatic flavor. Always use freshly minced garlic cloves for the best results. Salt: Enhances the overall flavor of the chicken.
Unsalted Butter: Butter forms the base of the delectable sauce. It’s important to use unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the finished dish. Garlic: Fresh garlic adds yet another layer of garlicky goodness to the dish. Parmesan Cheese: Contributes a salty, cheesy element to the sauce. Fresh Parsley: Adds a burst of vibrant green color and a herby note.
Say goodbye to kitchen stress and hello to flavor-packed simplicity! This recipe teaches you how to transform ordinary chicken breasts into an incredibly tasty dish with minimal effort. Start by making the flavorful marinade! Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon pepper seasoning, minced garlic, and a sprinkle of salt in a large mixing bowl. Then add the chicken pieces and toss them in the marinade until fully coated. Now, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put the chicken in the fridge to marinate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight. Remember, the longer the chicken marinates, the more flavorful it will be. Next, preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C), if necessary. Check the manufacturer’s guide for your model to determine if you need to do this step. After you’ve marinated the chicken, start threading the pieces of meat onto wooden skewers. Then place the skewers in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overlapping or touching. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches. Next, slide the basket into the air fryer and cook the skewers for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping them over halfway through the cooking time. When done, the chicken will be golden brown and fully cooked. While the chicken is air frying, you need to make the tasty parmesan garlic sauce. First, melt the butter over medium to low heat in a small saucepan. Next, add the garlic and saute it for just 1 minute until fragrant. Then remove the pan from the heat and stir in the parmesan cheese and chopped parsley until fully combined. When done, remove the cooked chicken from the air fryer and brush the skewers with the savory garlic parmesan sauce. Then serve your garlic parmesan chicken skewers immediately with extra remaining sauce on the side for dipping and a Greek Salad if you like!
Storage
To store garlic parmesan chicken skewers, allow them to cool to room temperature, and then wrap them in plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container. Then you can store them in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. For reheating, you have a couple of options. You can reheat them in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes or in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes. Of course, the microwave always works too!
