Ingredients
Chicken and Marinade
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs Cut into bite-sized cubes
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes Optional
- to taste Salt and pepper
Coating and Garnish
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Optional: zucchini, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, bell peppers for skewers
- Wooden or metal skewers
- Fresh parsley for garnish
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
Preparation
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes.
- In a large bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, oregano, paprika, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Let it marinate for 30 minutes.
- In another bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, alternating with any veggies you want to use.
- Roll the skewers in the Parmesan mixture, pressing to coat evenly.
Cooking
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Cook the skewers for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Serving
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
For extra flavor, let the chicken marinate longer than 30 minutes. Soaking wooden skewers prevents them from burning on the grill. Experiment with different vegetables based on your preference—bell peppers and zucchini are great choices!
