Ingredients
– 1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– ¼ cup olive oil

– 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
– Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
Making Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the boneless chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes. Ensure they are all of similar size for even cooking.
2. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
3. Add Parmesan Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, ensuring it coats the mixture.
4. Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken cubes into a large resealable plastic bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken and toss to coat thoroughly. Seal the bag (or cover the bowl) and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
5. Preheat the Grill or Oven: If grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using the oven, preheat it to 400°F (200°C).
6. Assemble the Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
7. Cook the Skewers:
– For Grilling: Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning them occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
– For Baking: Place the skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until fully cooked.
8. Garnish: Once cooked, transfer the skewers to a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for added freshness and color.
9. Serve Hot: Enjoy immediately while they’re still warm.
