These Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers are a flavorful and easy-to-make dish perfect for weeknight dinners or gatherings. Tender chicken breasts are marinated and coated in a garlicky, cheesy breadcrumb mixture, then seared to golden perfection before baking to juicy, tender completion. Finished with fresh oregano and a squeeze of lemon, they deliver a savory, zesty taste that everyone will love.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

For the Chicken Skewers

  • 4 chicken breasts (pounded thin)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 cup diced Italian parsley (plus more for serving)
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh oregano (for serving)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the skewers after searing.
  2. Prepare Breadcrumb Mixture: In a shallow bowl, combine the minced garlic, diced Italian parsley, grated parmesan cheese, salt, freshly cracked black pepper, red pepper flakes, and breadcrumbs, mixing well to create the flavorful coating.
  3. Assemble Skewers: Lay the thinly pounded chicken breasts flat and slice them into 1-inch wide strips. Thread these strips carefully onto skewers, then dip each skewer into the breadcrumb mixture, coating the chicken evenly. Set aside once coated.
  4. Sear the Chicken: Heat a large, oven-safe pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once shimmering, add the coated chicken skewers and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until they develop a golden brown crust.
  5. Bake the Skewers: Transfer the pan with the seared chicken skewers into the preheated oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F for safe consumption.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the skewers from the oven and top them with fresh oregano leaves. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side, squeezing fresh lemon juice over the chicken for a bright, zesty finish.

Notes

  • Ensure chicken breasts are pounded to an even thinness for uniform cooking.
  • Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before using to prevent burning.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for food safety.
  • For a spicier kick, increase the amount of red pepper flakes.
  • Can be served with a side salad or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
