Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs chicken tenders, thighs, or breast
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Garlic Parmesan Butter Sauce:

  • 1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter
  • 8-10 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Begin by preparing the garlic parmesan butter sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  2. Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté until fragrant and golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set the sauce aside to cool slightly.
  4. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken tenders with olive oil until evenly coated.
  6. Thread the chicken onto the skewers, evenly dividing them among the skewers.
  7. Place the skewers on the preheated grill or grill pan and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
  8. Brush the garlic parmesan butter sauce over the chicken skewers during the last few minutes of cooking, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  9. Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
  10. Garnish the chicken skewers with additional chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
  11. Serve the Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers hot, alongside your favorite sides or dipping sauces.
