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 into 1-inch cubes and thread them onto skewers securely, preparing them for even grilling.
  2. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, thoroughly mix grated Parmesan cheese, white vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried oregano, onion powder, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
  3. Marinate: Baste the chicken cubes generously with the Parmesan mixture, cover the bowl, and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes up to 12 hours to allow the flavors to deeply infuse the meat.
  4. Grill: Preheat a grill over medium heat. Place the marinated chicken skewers on the grill and cook for about 10 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is nicely 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 depending on how intense you want the flavors, but avoid exceeding 12 hours to prevent texture changes.
  • Serve immediately after grilling for the best taste and juiciness.
