Ingredients
- 500 g Ground chicken
- 200 g Provolone cheese (Cut into thick sticks)
- 1 Egg (Beaten; the original recipe does not specify the size)
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs (Approximately; may be gluten-free)
- 1 tsp Paprika (Estimated amount; adjust to taste)
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper (Estimated amount; adjust to taste)
- Salt (To taste)
- 0.5 tsp Dried oregano (Estimated amount; adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp Cooking spray (For lightly spraying)
- 6 Wooden skewers (For inserting into the cheese sticks; not edible)
Steps
- 1
Cut the provolone into six thick sticks and thread each stick onto a wooden skewer, leaving part of the skewer exposed for holding.
- 2
In a bowl, combine the ground chicken with the paprika, black pepper, salt, and oregano until the spices are evenly distributed.
- 3
Divide the chicken mixture into six portions. Completely wrap each provolone stick with one portion of chicken, pressing and sealing the ends well so the cheese is enclosed.
- 4
Beat the egg in a shallow dish or small bowl.
- 5
Dip each chicken-covered skewer into the beaten egg, making sure to coat the entire surface.
- 6
Coat each skewer with breadcrumbs, pressing gently so the breading adheres on all sides.
- 7
Lightly spray the breaded skewers with cooking spray. Preheat the air fryer to 340 °F (170 °C), if required by the model.
- 8
Place the skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between them for air circulation.
- 9
Cook at 340 °F (170 °C) for 18 minutes, or until the breading is golden brown and the chicken is fully cooked. Make sure the center reaches 165 °F (74 °C) and that no pink areas remain.
- 10
Remove the skewers from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving, as the cheese will be very hot and melted.
Notes
The amounts of egg, breadcrumbs, spices, and oil were not specified in the source; practical estimates are provided. Do not overcrowd the basket. If the cheese spills out during cooking, it indicates that the chicken was not completely sealed around the provolone.
