– 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
– Skewers (wooden or metal)
Creating Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers is straightforward when you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
2. Make Marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Marinate Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. (This step enhances flavor but is optional if you’re short on time.)
4. Preheat Grill: While chicken is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
5. Assemble Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
6. Grill Skewers: Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning them occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
7. Garnish: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top.
8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your delicious Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers while they’re hot!
