Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp paprika
- to taste salt and pepper
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon paprika, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly to create a well-blended marinade.
- Add the cubed chicken breasts to the marinade, tossing until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for best flavor.
- About 10 minutes before grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat to ensure even cooking and grill marks.
- While the grill is heating, thread the marinated chicken cubes onto soaked wooden skewers, leaving space between pieces for even cooking.
- Place the chicken skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, turning once, until golden-brown and grill-marked. Ensure an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption.
- Remove the skewers from the grill and let rest for a few minutes. Serve warm, garnished with extra Parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
For extra flavor, serve with a side of marinara or garlic aioli for dipping!
