Ingredients
For the chicken skewers
- 750 g chicken breast, cut into cubes
- Vegetable oil
- 1 tbs garlic powder
- 1 tbs paprika
- 1 tbs poultry seasoning
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tbs onion powder
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 tsp salt
For the Garlic butter Sauce
- 2 tbs butter
- 2 tbs garlic
- 2 tbs parsley
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breast into evenly sized cubes. Add the vegetable oil, garlic powder, paprika, poultry seasoning, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and Parmesan. Mix well until every piece is evenly coated. Let the chicken marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature while you prepare the sauce.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook gently for about 2 minutes, just until fragrant and mellow. Be careful not to let the garlic brown or burn. Turn off the heat, stir in the fresh parsley, and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (conventional). Thread the seasoned chicken onto skewers and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking tray in a single layer.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then carefully turn the skewers and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the skewers from the oven and generously brush them with the garlic butter sauce. Return them to the oven for another 2 minutes to let all those flavors come together.
- Serve immediately while the chicken is hot, juicy, and buttery. Pair with toasted Italian bread to soak up the garlic butter and a side of creamy yogurt for the perfect finishing touch.
Notes & Tips
For the juiciest chicken, cut the pieces into similar-sized cubes and avoid over cooking.
If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 20–30 minutes before threading the chicken to help prevent them from scorching in the oven.
Simple ingredients, incredible flavor, and the kind of garlic butter sauce you’ll want to mop up with every last piece of bread. Enjoy!
