These grilled chicken skewers feature a crispy garlic Parmesan crust with juicy, tender chicken inside, perfect for quick and easy summer BBQs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cut into 1.5-inch cubes
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ cup (50 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme mix)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • Wooden or metal skewers (wooden soaked for at least 30 minutes)

Instructions

  1. Cut chicken into uniform 1.5-inch cubes for even cooking.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine garlic powder, grated Parmesan, dried Italian herbs, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest if using.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over chicken cubes and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Add Parmesan seasoning mixture and gently toss until every piece is coated with the cheesy crust.
  5. Thread chicken pieces onto 6-8 skewers, leaving space between pieces for heat circulation.
  6. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). If using a grill pan, preheat over medium-high heat for 5 minutes.
  7. Grill skewers for 12-15 minutes total, turning every 3-4 minutes, until golden crispy crust forms and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  8. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to lock in juices.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Use freshly grated Parmesan for best crispy texture. Start grilling on high heat to form crust, then move to cooler area or reduce heat to finish cooking. Let skewers rest 5 minutes before serving to keep chicken juicy. Avoid overcrowding skewers to ensure crispy edges.
