The combination of garlic, Parmesan cheese, and fresh herbs creates a mouthwatering marinade that infuses the chicken with rich, savory flavor. Each bite is an explosion of taste that pairs perfectly with a variety of dipping sauces.

With just a few simple ingredients and minimal prep time, these skewers are a breeze to make. Simply marinate the chicken, thread it onto skewers, and grill them up for a hassle-free appetizer that’s perfect for any occasion.

Helpful Tips

Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh garlic and high-quality Parmesan cheese. Fresh ingredients will elevate the overall taste of the skewers.
Oven Option: If you don’t have a grill, you can also bake the skewers in the oven. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and place the skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Make them larger or small: You can make these larger by using 6-8″ skewers, or smaller bites by using 3-4″ skewers.
