These Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers are easy to make and provide a comforting blend of flavors with buttery garlic and savory parmesan, perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
For the Garlic Parmesan Sauce
- 1 pound salted butter, softened provides richness and moisture
- 5 cloves garlic, grated adds aromatic flavor
- 1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese contributes nuttiness and depth
- 1 lemon, zest and juice adds brightness and acidity

For the Chicken Skewers
- 3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 2-inch strips provides juicy texture
- 2 teaspoons salt for seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper adds a hint of warmth
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped optional for serving, adds color
Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by melting the butter in a medium-sized bowl. Once melted, stir in the grated garlic, parmesan cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and red pepper flakes. Mix until well combined.
- Prepare your skewers, trimming them if necessary so they fit comfortably inside the air fryer.
- Thread 6 to 7 pieces of chicken onto each skewer, ensuring the chicken pieces are secured and close together. Season with salt and pepper.
- Use a brush to apply a generous amount of the garlic parmesan butter sauce to all sides of the chicken skewers.
Cooking
- Place the skewers in the air fryer at 350°F. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Baste the skewers again with more of the garlic parmesan butter sauce and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Baste one last time and cook for an additional 5 minutes, ensuring the chicken is cooked through and has a golden-brown color.
- Pour any remaining garlic parmesan butter over the cooked skewers and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
These skewers are perfect for busy evenings and can be served with salads or roasted vegetables. Leftovers work well for lunchboxes.
