Ingredients

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

2 tbsp olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tbsp Italian seasoning

1 tsp paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until well-mixed.

  • Marinate the Chicken: Add the cubed chicken to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.

  • Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat about 10 minutes before cooking.

  • Prepare the Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken onto soaked wooden skewers, ensuring space between pieces for even cooking.

  • Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill, cooking for 6-8 minutes per side, turning halfway, until the chicken is golden-brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

  • Rest and Serve: Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra Parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Variations: Spice things up with crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper. For a Mediterranean twist, use oregano, thyme, and mint.

  • Storage/Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat on the grill, in a skillet, or in the microwave. Freeze marinated chicken for up to 3 months.

  • Serving Suggestions: Pair with pasta, roasted vegetables, or a light salad.
