Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound of chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup of breadcrumbs preferably Italian seasoned
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Skewers wooden or metal
  • Optional: Fresh herbs for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Chicken: Start by cutting your chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. This helps them cook evenly and allows for quick marination.
  • Marinate: In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated. For extra flavor, let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes (or even overnight in the fridge).
  • Coat in Parmesan and Breadcrumbs: In a separate bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs until combined. Take each marinated chicken piece and coat it in the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure it sticks.
  • Assemble the Skewers: Thread the coated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
  • Grill the Skewers: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.
  • Serve: Once done, remove from the grill, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy your Italian Parmesan Chicken Skewers alongside your favorite dipping sauce!
