Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers: Grill These Flavorful Treats
These Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers are a delicious way to enjoy grilled chicken, infused with savory garlic and cheesy goodness. Perfect for any gathering or weekday meal!
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup avocado oil you can substitute with olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese freshly grated preferred
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs mix of oregano, basil, thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
- Skewers wooden or metal
Instructions
- Start by soaking wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to keep them from burning on the grill.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the avocado oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper to create a tasty marinade.
- Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and gently toss to ensure they're all nicely coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, waiting for the grill to reach that perfect sizzling temperature.
- Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, ensuring you leave small gaps between each piece for even cooking.
- Grill the skewers for around 10-12 minutes, turning them occasionally. Look for those lovely grill marks and ensure the chicken is fully cooked, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Once done, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Finish by garnishing with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
If you're looking for a little heat, feel free to toss in a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade. You can also switch out the chicken for shrimp or cubed tofu for a different take on this delightful dish.
