Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 pound of boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup of olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons of lemon juice
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes optional
  • 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese

Equipment

  • Grill or grill pan
  • Skewers (soaked in water if wooden)
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring spoons
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. Start by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
  4. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes before grilling.
  5. Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers.
  6. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  7. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  8. Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
