Description

Ingredients

Units 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

  1. Cut Chicken: Cut each piece of chicken breast into 1-inch cubes. Thread the chicken cubes evenly onto skewers, ensuring they are packed but not too tight to allow even cooking.
  2. Prepare Marinade: In a medium bowl, combine grated Parmesan cheese, white vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried oregano, onion powder, crushed red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  3. Marinate: Baste the threaded chicken kebabs thoroughly with the prepared marinade, making sure all sides are coated. Cover the kebabs and refrigerate them for a minimum of 30 minutes, or up to 12 hours, to allow the flavors to deeply penetrate the chicken.
  4. Grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning. Place the marinated chicken kebabs on the grill and cook for about 10 minutes total, turning once midway, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through, tender, and slightly charred on the edges.

Notes

  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
  • Marinating time can be adjusted based on your schedule; longer marination (up to 12 hours) intensifies flavor.
  • Ensure chicken is cooked thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
  • Serve with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
