Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers:
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- Preparation:
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Marinate the Chicken:
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Add the chicken cubes to the bowl and toss to coat them thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
- Prepare the Skewers:
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, distributing them evenly.
- Grill the Skewers:
- Place the skewers on the preheated grill.
- Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
- Serve:
- Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers hot, garnished with additional parsley and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired.
Tips
- Serve with a side of your favorite dipping sauce, a fresh salad, or over a bed of rice or pasta.
- To enhance the flavor, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice over the cooked skewers before serving.
