How to Make Irresistible Crispy Parmesan Chicken Skewers

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, pepper, paprika, and chopped herbs. Whisk until everything is well blended and fragrant.
  • Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces for skewering. Toss the chicken pieces in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb all those delicious flavors.
  • Preheat your grill or oven broiler. Thread those marinated chicken pieces onto soaked bamboo skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
  • Place the skewers on the grill or under the broiler. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Just before removing the skewers from the heat, sprinkle a generous amount of grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Let it melt slightly.
  • Enjoy your hot, cheesy skewers alongside your favorite dipping sauce or a refreshing side salad for a complete meal.
