Here’s a simple recipe for Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers:
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs chicken tenders, thighs, or breast, cut into chunks
- 2 tbsp olive oil
For the Garlic Parmesan Butter Sauce:
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
- 8-10 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece. Brush the chicken skewers with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Once the garlic is fragrant, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Grill the chicken skewers for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
- During the last couple of minutes of grilling, brush the chicken skewers with the garlic Parmesan butter sauce, turning them occasionally to coat evenly. Reserve some sauce for serving.
- Once the chicken is cooked through, remove the skewers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Drizzle with any remaining garlic Parmesan butter sauce and sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish, if desired.
- Serve the garlic Parmesan chicken skewers hot, with any extra sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy your delicious meal!
