Prep Time: 20 mins  Cook Time: 15 mins  Total Time: 35 mins  Servings: 4

Ingredients
Chicken and Seasoning
  • 2 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon paprika powder
  • 2 tablespoons finely shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Garlicky Parmesan Sauce
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon finely shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • salt to taste
  • diced red chili pepper (optional)

Directions
  1. Soak wooden skewers, if using, in hot water for 20 minutes.
  2. Cut the chicken into cubes and place in a bowl. Add oil, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, Parmesan cheese, Cajun seasoning, mayonnaise and salt. Cajun seasoning has salt, so be mindful. Mix until chicken is evenly coated with seasonings.
  3. Thread chicken onto skewers. Spray cooking spray on bottom of the air fryer basket.
  4. For garlicky Parmesan sauce, add soft butter, black pepper, garlic powder, Parmesan, parsley, garlic, salt, and red chile to a small bowl, and stir until combined.
  5. Air fry at 390 degrees F (199 degrees C) for only 11 minutes, flipping halfway through. If you cook longer, chicken will be dry.  OR grill over high heat and flames to 165 degrees.
  6. Brush sauce onto chicken skewers. Serve immediately as is for a main dish or appetizer, or over rice pilaf, pasta, orzo, or in a wrap.
