Deliciously marinated chicken skewers brushed with garlic Parmesan butter.
Equipment
- Grill Preheat to 400°F.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 pound chicken breasts, cubed
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoon no salt added lemon pepper seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 4 tablespoon butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup parmesan, grated
- 2 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
- 3 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped or cilantro
- 1 small lemon, sliced for garnish optional
Instructions
- In a large bowl, place the cubed chicken. Ensure the pieces are of equal size for even cooking. Add olive oil, lemon juice, and seasonings. Mix well to coat the chicken. Marinate covered in the fridge for 15 minutes to 4 hours. Tip: The longer you marinate, the more flavorful your chicken will be!
- When ready to cook, thread the chicken onto skewers. Place them on a flat baking sheet. In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, add minced garlic, and simmer for 2 minutes. Set aside in a warm place.
- Preheat the grill to 400°F. Grill the skewers directly on the grates for 8-10 minutes, turning frequently. Tip: Keep an eye on them to avoid burning!
- Add Parmesan and parsley to the cooled garlic butter.
- Let the skewers cook for 2 minutes on each side, rotating and brushing with the garlic Parmesan butter. Once the chicken reaches 165ºF internally and turns golden, remove from the grill.
- Allow the chicken to rest on a baking sheet, then brush generously with the remaining garlic Parmesan butter and a squeeze of lemon before serving. Tip: This extra butter adds a delicious finish!
Notes
For added flavor, try using fresh cilantro instead of parsley. You can also serve with a side of rice or a fresh salad.
