Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs (cut into bite-sized cubes)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional)

- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Optional: zucchini, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, bell peppers

Instructions
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning.

- Combine Parmesan cheese with garlic powder and onion powder in another bowl.
- Thread marinated chicken onto skewers, alternating with optional vegetables if desired.
- Roll each skewer in the Parmesan mixture to coat evenly.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat; cook skewers for 10–12 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
