Equipment
- 1 Pure Generation Carving Knife
- 1 Large mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 2 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- ½ cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Dried basil
- ½ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Black pepper
- Wooden skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
Instructions
- Start by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes. Transfer the chicken to a large mixing bowl.
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a thick marinade.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes in the mixing bowl. Use your hands to toss the chicken, ensuring that each piece is coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Meanwhile, remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- Thread the chicken cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between each piece. This will ensure even cooking and prevent the chicken from sticking to the grill.
- Once the grill is hot, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. Place the chicken skewers on the grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning them occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and nicely charred.
- Remove the chicken skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and make the chicken even more tender and flavorful.
- Serve the Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired. These skewers are perfect as a main course or as a delicious appetizer.
