Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup olive oil

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes if wooden)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.

    Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for more flavor).

      Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it over medium heat.

        Assemble the Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked skewers, packing them tightly but not overcrowding.

          Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

            Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a minute. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

              Enjoy: Serve the Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a fresh salad!
