Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers

Here’s a simple and delicious Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers recipe for you to try:

Ingredients:

• Chicken:
  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized cubes)
• Marinade:
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
• Garlic Parmesan Sauce:
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:
   • In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
   • Add the cubed chicken to the marinade and mix until the chicken is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) to marinate.
2. Prepare the Skewers:
   • While the chicken is marinating, soak wooden skewers in water for about 15 minutes if using. (This helps prevent them from burning on the grill.)
   • Once marinated, thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers, making sure to leave a little space between each piece.
3. Grill the Chicken Skewers:
   • Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
   • Grill the chicken skewers for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Make sure to turn the skewers occasionally to get even grilling.
4. Make the Garlic Parmesan Sauce:
   • In a small pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
   • Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
   • Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Assemble:
   • Once the chicken is done grilling, brush the garlic Parmesan sauce generously over the chicken skewers.
   • Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for garnish, if desired.
6. Serve:
   • Serve immediately with a side of your choice like roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
