The star of our Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers is undoubtedly the chicken breast. This lean protein source is ideal for grilling due to its lower fat content, which allows it to cook quickly and evenly. Chicken breasts provide a canvas for the other flavors to shine, soaking up the marinade and spices beautifully. They are also versatile, making them suitable for various cooking methods, from roasting to sautéing.

Ingredients
  

1 lb chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Skewers (wooden or metal)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Add the cubed chicken and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.

    Preheat Grill: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat your grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat.

      Assemble the Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.

        Cook 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).

          Add Parmesan: During the last couple of minutes of cooking, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the skewers, allowing it to melt slightly.

            Serve: Remove the skewers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

              Enjoy: Serve the Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers hot with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad!
