Ingredients
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
– Skewers (wooden or metal, soaked if wooden)
Instructions
Follow these straightforward steps to create your Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers:
1. Prepare Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning.
2. Make Marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until combined.
3. Marinate Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for maximum flavor).
4. Preheat Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat.
5. Skewering: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers. Leave a little space between each piece for even cooking.
6. Grill Chicken: Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
7. Check for Doneness: Make sure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
8. Remove and Garnish: Once cooked, remove from grill and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
These simple steps ensure that your Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers will be a hit, providing that perfect balance of taste and texture.
