Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 garlic cloves, freshly minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Wooden or metal skewers (soak wooden skewers if using)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: Combine minced garlic, grated parmesan, olive oil, Italian seasoning, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix until the blend is smooth and aromatic, ready to coat the chicken evenly.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the bite-sized chicken pieces into the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to absorb maximum flavor.
  3. Skewer the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto pre-soaked wooden skewers or metal ones, leaving a bit of space between pieces for even heat circulation.
  4. Cook the Skewers: Grill over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and has a slight golden crust. Alternatively, bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes or pan-fry until cooked and caramelized.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle extra parmesan and freshly chopped parsley before serving for an appealing finish.

Notes

  • Use even-sized pieces of chicken to ensure uniform cooking.
  • Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
  • Do not overcrowd skewers; leave gaps between pieces for better heat circulation and juicier results.
  • For deeper flavor, marinate chicken for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Let the skewers rest for a few minutes after cooking to redistribute juices for tender bites.
