Allergens

Dairy (Parmesan cheese), Gluten (optional if using gluten-free bread), Soy (optional if using soy sauce)

Ingredients

• 8 wooden skewers
• 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
2. Cut chicken into 1 inch cubes and thread onto soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, garlic, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper.
4. Add chicken skewers to the marinade, making sure they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
5. Preheat grill to medium high heat (about 375°F). Remove skewers from marinade, letting excess drip off. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over each skewer.
6. Grill skewers for 4 6 minutes per side or until chicken is cooked through and slightly charred. Serve immediately.

Chef’s Insight
