Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ lbs chicken breasts cubed
  • 2 ½ tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • ¾ cup butter melted
  • 7-9 cloves garlic minced
  • ⅔ cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 ½ tsp red pepper flakes optional, for heat
  • 1 ½ tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Prep Your Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water while preparing the chicken to prevent burning.
  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
  • Season the Chicken: In a large bowl, toss the cubed chicken with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  • Make the Garlic Parmesan Butter: In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning. Set aside a few spoonfuls for finishing sauce.
  • Assemble the Skewers: Thread the seasoned chicken cubes onto the soaked skewers, packing them tightly. Arrange the skewers on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake and Broil: Brush the skewers generously with the garlic Parmesan butter. Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, flipping halfway through. For extra crispiness, broil for 1-2 minutes until golden.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Brush with the remaining garlic Parmesan butter for an extra burst of flavor. Serve hot with your favorite sides or dipping sauce.

Notes

Customize with veggies, adjust the spice level, or substitute with shrimp or tofu for a different protein. Serve with a crisp salad, roasted vegetables, garlic bread, or over rice for a complete meal. Enjoy this versatile and flavorful dish anytime!
