Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs oregano, basil, thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
- Skewers wooden or metal
Instructions
- Prepare skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning Salads.
- Make marinade: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
- Marinate chicken: Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Preheat grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Assemble skewers: Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
- Grill chicken: Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
- Rest and garnish: Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- Substitute chicken with shrimp or cubed tofu for a different protein option.
