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 mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine thoroughly.

  • Marinate the Chicken:
    Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss 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 grilling.

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

  • Grill the Skewers:
    Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, turning once, until the chicken is golden-brown with grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.

  • Rest and Serve:
    Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve warm, with optional garnishes of grated Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs.

Notes

  • For an extra burst of flavor, serve with marinara or garlic aioli.
  • Try adding a sprinkle of extra Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs after grilling for added flair.
