Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Wooden or metal skewers (soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling)
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-inch cubes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
- Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F (190°C).
- Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers or metal skewers.
- Roll each skewer in grated parmesan cheese to coat the chicken thoroughly.
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
- Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Notes
Soak wooden skewers to prevent burning. Use fresh garlic for maximum flavor. Brush grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.
