Ingredients
1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/4 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Skewers (wooden or metal)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Preparation Method
Prepare the chicken and marinade
Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into evenly sized, bite-sized pieces. This ensures that the chicken cooks uniformly on the grill. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until the marinade is well mixed and the flavors are balanced.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, tossing them to coat each piece thoroughly. The lemon juice adds a slight tang to the dish, while the garlic and Italian seasoning infuse the chicken with a rich, aromatic flavor. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to fully develop. If time permits, you can let the chicken marinate for up to 2 hours in the fridge for even more intense flavor.
Preheat the grill
While the chicken is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you are using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
