Scale
Chicken Kebabs:
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Garlic Parmesan Mixture:
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut Chicken: Cut each boneless, skinless chicken breast into 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking and easy threading onto skewers.
- Prepare Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine grated Parmesan cheese, white vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried oregano, onion powder, crushed red pepper flakes, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to create a uniform marinade.
- Marinate: Baste the chicken cubes thoroughly with the prepared garlic Parmesan mixture. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, ideally up to 12 hours, to allow the flavors to infuse deeply into the chicken.
- Thread Chicken: Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and thread the chicken cubes evenly onto skewers, making sure to leave small gaps for even cooking.
- Grill: Preheat the grill to medium heat. Place the chicken kebabs on the grill and cook for about 10 minutes, turning once halfway through. Grill until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) to ensure it is fully cooked and juicy.
Notes
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- You can marinate the chicken up to 12 hours ahead for more intense flavor.
- Serve with your favorite side dishes like grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
