Instructions

How to Make Irresistible Crispy Parmesan Chicken Skewers

  • In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, pepper, paprika, and your chopped fresh herbs until combined.
  • Cut your boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Toss these chunks in the marinade, ensuring they're well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb all those incredible flavors.
  • Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving space between them for even cooking.
  • Grill or broil the chicken skewers for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Just before removing the skewers from the heat, sprinkle a generous amount of grated Parmesan cheese on top and allow it to melt slightly.

Notes

Allow the chicken to marinate for a full hour for better flavor. Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
