Ingredients
Gathering your ingredients is a breeze. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 pound of chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
If you’re looking to switch things up, try using boneless chicken thighs for an even juicier texture, or add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat. Remember, cooking is all about making it your own!
Instructions
Let’s dive into the heart of the meal:
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken cubes in the mixture until well coated.
- Thread the chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a bit of space between each piece for even cooking.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese generously over all sides of the chicken skewers. Pat gently to help it adhere.
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice crispy exterior. You’ll know they’re ready when the juices run clear and the cheese is golden brown.
As you grill, let the sizzle and aroma transport you to a sunny backyard barbecue, a memory I cherish from countless family gatherings.
