Make juicy, flavorful garlic parmesan chicken skewers using a simple marinade and grilling method. This easy chicken skewers recipe is perfect for weeknight dinners or summer barbecues.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional, for finishing)
  • Wooden or metal skewers (if using wood, soak them for 30 minutes)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if you are using them. This creates your flavorful chicken marinade.
  2. Add the cubed chicken to the marinade. Toss well to coat every piece evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours, to let the chicken absorb the flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grates.
  4. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the prepared skewers, leaving a small space between each piece.
  5. Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
  6. Remove the garlic parmesan chicken skewers from the grill. If desired, immediately brush with fresh lemon juice for brightness.
  7. Serve hot as a main dish or as easy chicken appetizers for parties.

Notes

  • For oven baked chicken skewers, arrange them on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • If you prefer air fryer chicken kabobs, cook at 380°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Use chicken thighs for an even juicier grilled chicken result.
