Juicy, flavorful chicken skewers marinated in a zesty garlic parmesan sauce, grilled to perfection. A quick and easy recipe that’s perfect for a weeknight dinner or a summer barbecue.
Ingredients:
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 12 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions:
- Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, Parmesan cheese, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken cubes and toss to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Assemble the Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers.
- Grill the Skewers: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Serve: Remove the skewers from the grill and serve immediately. Enjoy with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the skewers before serving.
- Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the marinade to your taste.
- If you don’t have wooden skewers, you can use metal skewers.
- For a smoky flavor, grill the skewers over indirect heat.
