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
- Cut Chicken: Cut each piece of chicken into 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking. Thread the chicken cubes carefully onto skewers, distributing the pieces evenly.
- Prepare Marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, white vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried oregano, onion powder, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Marinate: Baste the skewered chicken pieces thoroughly with the garlic Parmesan mixture. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing up to 12 hours for deeper flavor infusion.
- Grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to prevent burning. Grill the chicken kebabs on the preheated grill, turning once halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), approximately 10 minutes total.
Notes
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water before grilling to prevent burning.
- Marinate longer for more intense flavor and tenderness, up to 12 hours.
- Ensure chicken is cooked thoroughly by checking internal temperature with a meat thermometer.
- Serve with fresh salads or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
