Chicken Skewers with Garlic Parmesan Sauce

Ingredients

• 500 g Chicken breast (cut into cubes for skewers)
• 1 tsp Paprika (to taste for the marinade)
• 1 tsp Garlic powder (to taste for the marinade)
• Spices to taste (dried herb mix)
• 2 tbsp Olive oil (for the marinade and sauce)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• 2 tsp Ghee butter
• 2 Garlic (crushed)
• 0.5 tsp Lemon zest
• 1 tsp Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 tbsp Fresh cilantro (finely chopped)

Steps

1. 1

   Start by cutting the chicken breast into uniform-sized cubes to ensure even cooking.

2. 2

   In a bowl, season the chicken with paprika, garlic powder, spices to taste, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well so all pieces are evenly coated.

3. 3

   Place the chicken pieces in the air fryer basket.

4. 4

   Cook the chicken in the air fryer at 200°C (400°F) for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

5. 5

   While the chicken is cooking, prepare the sauce by mixing the olive oil, crushed garlic, lemon zest, 2 teaspoons of ghee butter, parmesan cheese, and finely chopped fresh cilantro in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. 6

   Once the chicken is ready, remove it from the fryer and toss it evenly with the prepared sauce.

7. 7

   Return the sauced chicken to the air fryer for an additional 1 to 2 minutes so the flavors meld and the cheese melts slightly.

Notes

You can thread the chicken pieces onto skewer sticks before cooking if you prefer a classic skewer presentation. If you don't have an air fryer, you can cook them in a pan over medium-high heat.
