Steps

1. 1

   Cut the chicken breast or tenderloins into bite-sized pieces. If needed, cut the pieces in half so they will fit in the air fryer.

2. 2

   Season the chicken with garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

3. 3

   Thread the seasoned chicken pieces onto small skewers. Make as many skewers as desired, keeping them sized to fit in the air fryer.

4. 4

   Air-fry the chicken skewers at 400°F (205°C) for 4 minutes.

5. 5

   Flip the skewers and air-fry for another 4 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.

6. 6

   While the chicken cooks, melt a little butter in a pan over medium heat.

7. 7

   Add the shallot and garlic to the butter and cook them briefly until softened and fragrant. The source does not specify an exact cooking time.

8. 8

   Add the remaining seasoning mixture and pour in 1/2 cup chicken broth. Let the mixture simmer.

9. 9

   Add 1/2 cup half-and-half and whisk the sauce together.

10. 10

    Optionally add a little Parmesan cheese.

11. 11

    Continue simmering over medium heat until the sauce starts to thicken slightly.

12. 12

    Serve the chicken skewers with potatoes or rice cauliflower and a green vegetable of choice.

Notes

The source does not provide an amount for the chicken, butter, garlic, shallot, or most seasonings, nor does it specify the number of servings. It also does not state an exact sauce simmering time or the quantity of optional Parmesan. Although the title calls this chicken au poivre, the method is a simplified air-fryer version rather than a traditional preparation.
