Ingredients
  

For the chicken skewers
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs (cut into bite-sized cubes)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Optional: zucchini, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, bell peppers (for skewers)
  • Wooden or metal skewers
  • Fresh parsley for garnish
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken cubes and toss to coat. Let it marinate for 30 minutes.
  3. In another bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Cooking
  1. Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, alternating with any veggies you like.
  2. Roll the skewers in the Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to coat evenly.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Cook the skewers for about 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  4. Garnish the skewers with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges for a burst of flavor.

Notes

Make sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes to soak up the flavors. Use fresh vegetables that cook evenly with the chicken. If using wooden skewers, soaking them prevents them from burning on the grill. To enjoy more flavor, add extra spices or different types of cheese to the Parmesan mix.
