Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into cubes
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Juice of 1 lemon (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
- Skewers (wooden or metal)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together garlic, Parmesan, olive oil, oregano, salt, pepper, and lemon juice if using.
- Add chicken cubes and toss until well coated, then marinate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours in the fridge.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand.
- Thread marinated chicken onto skewers, spacing evenly.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and reaches 165°F.
- Baste with leftover marinade during grilling for extra flavor.
Notes
- If using wooden skewers, soaking them prevents burning during grilling.
- You can substitute chicken with shrimp, steak, or tofu for variety.
- Marinate chicken longer for more intense flavor.
- Serve garnished with fresh parsley or lemon wedges for added freshness.
