Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ 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
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cut chicken into 1-inch cubes. Thread evenly onto 8 metal or soaked wooden skewers.
- In a medium bowl, mix Parmesan, vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, oregano, onion powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
- Brush or baste the chicken generously on all sides with the garlic Parmesan mixture.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 12 hours).
- Preheat grill to medium heat.
- Grill skewers for about 5 minutes per side, lid closed, until internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- Remove from grill, rest for 5 minutes, and serve warm.
Notes
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
- Do not overcook; chicken will continue to rise slightly in temperature after removing from grill.
- Can be baked at 425°F for 18–22 minutes if you don’t have a grill.
- Freshly grated Parmesan gives the best flavor, but pre-grated works fine.
