Ingredients
  

For the Marinade
  • 1/4 cup olive oil A splash of this adds richness and helps lock in the moisture of the chicken.
  • 3-4 cloves garlic Fresh garlic cloves give an aromatic punch that complements the Parmesan beautifully.
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese This brings a savory, cheesy flavor that coats the chicken and forms a delightful crust when grilled.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning A mix of herbs that deepens the flavor profile, making each bite irresistible.
  • 1 pinch salt Enhances all the flavors, ensuring your skewers are perfectly seasoned.
  • 1 pinch black pepper Adds a touch of heat to balance the flavors beautifully.
For the Chicken
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts This lean protein option is tender and absorbs the marinade wonderfully.
For Garnish
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley Chopped parsley adds a pop of color and a fresh taste, elevating the presentation.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice A squeeze of lemon before serving brightens the dish.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of olive oil, 3-4 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
  2. Cut 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes. Add the chicken to the marinade, tossing to coat each piece thoroughly. Cover the bowl and let it marinate at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
  3. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat, aiming for about 400°F (200°C). Oil the grill grates lightly with a paper towel dipped in oil.
  4. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking. Alternate with vegetables if desired.
  5. Place the assembled skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through for even grilling.
  6. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top and serve with a squeeze of lemon juice.

Notes

For the best flavor, allow the chicken to marinate longer if possible, and make sure to test for doneness using a meat thermometer.
