Chicken Breast Skewers with Ham and Cheese in Air Fryer

in

Hello girls! Today I bring you an easy, tasty recipe that’s perfect for the whole family: chicken breast skewers stuffed with ham and cheese 🧀🍗. They are ideal for a quick dinner, a tasty main course, or even to serve as finger food during a get-together with friends. The great thing is they are ready in no time and with just a few ingredients that we almost always have in the fridge!
The preparation is really simple: I took slices of chicken breast and gently pounded them with a meat tenderizer to make them thin and tender. On each slice, I placed a slice of cooked ham and a piece of mozzarella or Galbanino cheese – you can choose based on what you have at home. Then I rolled each slice on itself, forming rolls, and skewered them with two skewers to keep them firm. I put three on each long skewer so that they are perfectly portioned.
Once ready, I passed them in breadcrumbs to obtain a crunchy and golden breading. Then I cut them in half to make smaller and practical skewers to serve.
These chicken skewers with ham and cheese are a great idea to vary the usual main course. They are easy, quick, and super tasty, kids love them, and they can be cooked in a pan or in the oven. Try them and let me know! 😋
