Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs), cut into cubes
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
  • Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Add the cubed chicken to the marinade, tossing to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20-30 minutes to prevent burning.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat or preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers.
  • Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char. If baking, place the skewers on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges if desired.

Notes

  • You can also add vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or zucchini to the skewers.
  • Serve with a dipping sauce like ranch or tzatziki for extra flavor.
