Equipment
- 1 skewers wooden or metal
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 cutting board
- 1 whisk
- 1 grill or oven
- 1 baking sheet if using the oven
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- to taste fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir well to create a marinade.
- Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes for maximum flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a small space between each piece for even cooking.
- If grilling, cook the skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- If baking, place the skewers on a baking sheet and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden.
- Once cooked, remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, you can marinate the chicken for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator. Feel free to customize the skewers with vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, or zucchini for added nutrition and flavor. These skewers pair well with a side salad, rice, or a dipping sauce of your choice. Enjoy your delicious Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers!
