Juicy chicken pieces marinated in a savory blend of garlic, Parmesan cheese, and herbs, grilled to perfection, and served on skewers for easy enjoyment. Whether you’re hosting a barbecue or craving a delicious weeknight dinner, this recipe is sure to impress. Let’s dive into the details of how to make these irresistible skewers.

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Wooden skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes

Directions:

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix the ingredients well to create a flavorful marinade.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the bowl with the marinade. Toss the chicken until it’s evenly coated with the mixture. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. For even more flavor infusion, marinate the chicken overnight.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it’s clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
  4. Thread the Skewers: Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Thread the chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, distributing them evenly along the length of each skewer.
  5. Grill the Skewers: Place the prepared chicken skewers on the preheated grill. Grill them for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through, juices run clear, and the exterior develops beautiful grill marks. The Parmesan cheese in the marinade will create a delicious crust on the chicken as it cooks.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Once the chicken skewers are cooked to perfection, remove them from the grill and serve them hot off the grill. Garnish with additional grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh herbs for an extra pop of flavor if desired.
