Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Skewers (wooden or metal)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, Parmesan, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat.
- Cover and marinate the chicken in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, making sure to leave space between each piece for even cooking.
- Grill the skewers for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- Serve with a side of grilled vegetables, rice, or a light salad.
- You can also bake the skewers in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
