Are you a college student tired of dining hall food, with access to an air fryer? These Air Fryer Garlic-Parmesan Chicken Skewers are the perfect meal that is easy to make and super tasty. Although these are more work than your average microwaveable meal, you will feel satisfied knowing that you made a meal for yourself that is tasty and better for you!

Ingredients:

2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 2″ pieces

2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil  

1 Tbsp. Italian seasoning

2 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, divided

2 tsp. garlic powder, divided

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup fresh Italian parsley, finely chopped

1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan

Also Needed:

8 bamboo skewers

Directions:

Step 1:

Trim skewers so they fit into your air fryer basket, if needed. Soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 2:

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss chicken, oil, Italian seasoning, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder until coated.

Step 3:

Thread chicken onto skewers (about 6 pieces per skewer). Working in batches if needed, arrange skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer, spacing about 1/2″ apart.

Step 4:

Air fry at 400° for 8 minutes.

Step 5:

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix butter, parsley, Parmesan, and remaining 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Step 6:

Flip skewers, generously brush with garlic-herb butter, and continue to air fry until browned, cooked though, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken registers 165°, about 4 minutes more.

Step 7:

Generously brush skewers with garlic-herb butter and arrange on a platter. Serve with remaining garlic-herb butter alongside and enjoy!
