Ingredients
Chicken Skewers:
- 1–1½ lb chicken breasts, cubed, or thighs
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1–2 tsp no salt added lemon pepper seasoning
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ cup lemon juice
Garlic Parmesan Butter:
- 4–6 Tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup parmesan, grated
- 2 tsp lemon juice, optional
- 3 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (fresh cilantro will also work)
- 1 small lemon, sliced for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Marinate Chicken: In a large bowl, combine cubed chicken with olive oil, lemon juice, and seasonings. Marinate for 15 minutes to 4 hours in the fridge.
- Prepare Garlic Parmesan Butter: Melt butter in a saucepan, add minced garlic, simmer for 2 minutes, then set aside.
- Cook Skewers: Skewer the chicken and grill over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes, basting with garlic Parmesan butter.
- Finish and Serve: Once chicken is cooked through, brush with remaining butter and a squeeze of lemon before serving.
Notes
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
- For best results, avoid overcooking the chicken and use a meat thermometer.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them first to prevent burning.
- Air fry or bake the skewers as alternative cooking methods.
