Ingredients
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts: 1.5 lbs, cut into 1-inch cubes
- Olive oil: 1/4 cup
- Garlic: 4 cloves, minced
- Parmesan cheese: 1/2 cup, grated
- Italian seasoning: 1 tablespoon
- Lemon juice: 2 tablespoons
- Salt: 1 teaspoon
- Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Step 2: Add the cubed chicken to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
- Step 3: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. While the grill is heating, thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers.
- Step 4: Grill the chicken skewers for approximately 8-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Step 5: Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Leftover chicken skewers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For best results, reheat the skewers gently in a skillet with a touch of olive oil to prevent drying out.
- Serve these flavorful skewers with a bright and zesty lemon-herb couscous salad for a complete meal.
- To prevent sticking, lightly oil the grill grates before adding the skewers, ensuring beautiful grill marks and easy removal.
