Ingredients
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– ¼ cup olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced

– ½ teaspoon salt
– ¼ teaspoon black pepper
– Fresh parsley, for garnish
– Skewers (wooden or metal)
Instructions
Creating Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 10 minutes to prevent burning while grilling.
2. Cut the Chicken: Chop the boneless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces for grilling.
3. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, dried herbs, salt, and pepper until well combined.
4. Marinate Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade. Toss to ensure every piece is well coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 10 minutes for optimal flavor.
5. Preheat Grill: Heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat while the chicken marinates.
6. Assemble Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, spacing them evenly.
7. Grill: Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
8. Check Doneness: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (75°C).
9. Garnish: Remove from the grill and drizzle a little extra olive oil or additional Parmesan cheese over the skewers, and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
10. Serve Hot: Serve the skewers immediately for the best flavor and texture.
By following these steps, you will create incredible Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers that are bound to impress everyone.
