Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken:
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1.5-inch cubes)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For Garnish:
- Chopped fresh parsley
Additional:
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss until fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for more flavor).
- Grill the Chicken: Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium heat. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers. Grill for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the grill, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
- These kebabs pair well with rice, salad, or roasted vegetables.
- You can customize by adding veggies like bell peppers or zucchini to the skewers.
