Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (plus extra for garnish)

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, thyme, basil)

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

Lemon wedges, for serving

Skewers (wooden or metal)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, Italian herbs, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken cubes and mix until evenly coated. Cover and let the mixture marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).

    Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill. If using metal skewers, they can be used directly.

      Assemble the Skewers: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.

        Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).

          Serve: Remove skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with extra chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty finish.

            Enjoy: These Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers are perfect as a main dish or a delicious appetizer at your next gathering!
