Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers 🍗🧄🧀

Tender, flavorful chicken cubes grilled or baked to perfection, coated in a rich garlic and Parmesan marinade. Perfect for weeknight dinners, meal prep, or a backyard BBQ!

Ingredients (Serves 4)

  • 1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)

  • Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

1️⃣ Prep the Skewers

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes. This prevents burning during cooking.

2️⃣ Make the Marinade

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended.

3️⃣ Coat the Chicken

Add the chicken cubes to the bowl. Toss thoroughly so every piece is evenly coated in the garlicky Parmesan mixture. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes for maximum flavor, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

4️⃣ Assemble the Skewers

Thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a small gap between each cube for even cooking.
