Lemon Pepper Chicken Skewers are flavorful, juicy chicken breast cubes marinated with bold seasonings and cooked to perfection in an air fryer. Brushed with a zesty, seasoned butter, these skewers make a perfect appetizer or main course for summer gatherings or quick weeknight meals.

  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: 12 skewers

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon lemon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Cajun seasoning

Seasoned Butter

  • ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon lemon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon freshly chopped parsley

Other

  • Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the cubed chicken breasts, olive oil, paprika, kosher salt, lemon pepper, minced garlic, and Cajun seasoning. Toss thoroughly to ensure all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
  2. Thread the Skewers: After soaking the wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning, carefully thread 4-5 pieces of the seasoned chicken onto each skewer.
  3. Air Fry the Skewers: Place the chicken skewers in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on your air fryer size, you may need to cook in batches. Air fry at 400°F (204°C) for 11-12 minutes, flipping the skewers halfway through the cooking time. Check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure doneness.
  4. Make the Seasoned Butter: While the chicken cooks, combine the melted unsalted butter with paprika, lemon pepper, minced garlic, Cajun seasoning, and freshly chopped parsley in a small bowl. Stir well to blend all flavors.
  5. Brush and Serve: Once the chicken is cooked through, brush the seasoned butter generously over the hot chicken skewers. Serve immediately for the best flavor and juiciness.

Notes

  • Oven Instructions: Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. After seasoning and skewering the chicken, place skewers on the sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until chicken reaches 165°F internally. Brush with seasoned butter before serving.
  • Grilling Instructions: Grill skewers over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Brush with seasoned butter while hot.
  • Soak wooden skewers for at least 30 minutes before cooking to prevent burning during cooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is fully cooked and safe to eat.
  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for 30 minutes before skewering if time allows.
