Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Marinade
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup white vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut each piece of chicken into 1-inch cubes. Thread the chicken onto 8 metal or wooden skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before threading to prevent them from catching fire while grilling.
- Make the Marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, white vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried oregano, onion powder, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well blended.
- Marinate the Chicken: Baste the chicken skewers generously with the garlic Parmesan mixture, coating all sides evenly. Place the coated kebabs on a large platter, cover gently, and refrigerate. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or for enhanced flavor, up to 12 hours.
- Grill the Kebabs: Preheat the grill to medium heat. Place the marinated chicken kebabs on the grill and cook with the grill lid closed for about 5 minutes per side. Continue grilling until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C), ensuring the chicken is fully cooked and juicy.
- Serve: Once grilled, serve the chicken kebabs warm. They pair wonderfully with a fresh salad, rice, or grilled vegetables for a complete meal. Enjoy!
Notes
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- Marinating the chicken longer enhances flavor and tenderness.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches the safe internal temperature of 165°F.
- For an extra kick, increase crushed red pepper flakes according to taste.
- Serve with your favorite side dishes like grilled vegetables or a light salad for a balanced meal.
