These Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers are juicy, flavorful, and easy to make! Marinated in a garlic-infused blend with Parmesan cheese, these skewers are grilled or baked to perfection. Perfect for BBQs, weeknight dinners, or meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast (cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
  • Skewers (wooden or metal)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
    Make the Marinade: In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, paprika, red pepper flakes (if using), and lemon juice.
    Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
    Preheat the Grill or Oven:
    Grill: Preheat to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
    Oven: Preheat to 400°F and line a baking sheet with foil.
    Assemble the Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers.
    Cook the Skewers:
    Grill: Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
    Oven: Bake for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway, until the chicken is fully cooked.
    Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve hot

Notes

  • If baking, broil for the last 2 minutes for a crispy finish.
  • Serve with garlic aioli, tzatziki, or a squeeze of lemon for extra flavor.
  • Works great with zucchini, bell peppers, or mushrooms on the skewers.
