Instructions

1-Soak the skewers: Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

2-Prepare the chicken: Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then cut into even 1-inch cubes so they cook evenly.

3-Make the marinade: Whisk together olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.

4-Marinate the chicken: Toss chicken cubes in the marinade until well coated, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours).

5-Thread the skewers: Thread 4‑5 chicken cubes per skewer, leaving space between pieces to promote charring.

6-Cook the skewers: Grill: preheat to 375‑400°F, oil grates, cook 8‑12 min turning until 165°F. Oven: bake at 400°F on lined sheet 15‑20 min, flip halfway, optional broil 1‑2 min.

7-Rest the skewers: Let cooked skewers rest 3‑5 minutes so juices settle and meat stays tender.

8-Garnish and serve: Transfer to platter, sprinkle with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan, serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Notes

💡 Soak wooden skewers for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning, or use metal skewers for a reusable option.
🧀 Watch the broiler closely if using it — Parmesan can go from golden to burnt in seconds.
🌡️ Always use a meat thermometer and cook chicken to exactly 165°F for juicy, safe results.
