Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers
  1. Begin by thawing your chicken breasts if frozen, then pat them dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture. While the chicken is drying, mince 3-4 cloves of fresh garlic and gather the remaining ingredients—melt butter, measure grated Parmesan cheese, and have red pepper flakes and fresh parsley ready for garnishing.
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Take the dried chicken breasts and cut them into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are uniform for even cooking. Thread the chicken pieces onto skewers.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F. Place the skewers on the grill, cooking for 15-18 minutes, turning halfway through.
  5. Once cooked, carefully remove the skewers from the grill and allow them to rest for a couple of minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, drizzling any remaining garlic Parmesan butter sauce over the top.
