Keto Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers

Keto Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers 🍢 Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 15 mins | Servings: 4 (2 skewers each)

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1½ lb Chicken breast (cut into 1-inch chunks)

  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese (grated)

  • 3 tbsp Olive oil

  • 4 cloves Garlic (minced)

  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  • ½ tsp Lemon zest

  • ½ tsp Paprika

  • ¾ tsp Salt & ½ tsp Black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS: 1️⃣ Marinate: In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, pepper, and half of the parsley. 2️⃣ Coat: Toss the chicken chunks in the marinade until well-coated. Add the Parmesan cheese and toss again so the cheese sticks to the chicken. 3️⃣ Skewer: Thread the chicken pieces onto your skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water first!). 4️⃣ Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high. Grill for 12–15 minutes, turning with tongs occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese forms a golden crust. 5️⃣ Garnish: Sprinkle with the remaining fresh parsley and serve hot.

Pairs perfectly with a side of garlic aioli or a crisp green salad! YUMM! 😋

💡 Pro-Tips for Success

  • Switch the Protein: If you prefer a juicier skewer, swap the chicken breast for chicken thighs. They have a higher fat content, which is great for keto and makes them harder to overcook.

  • Cheese Choice: If you’ve run out of Parmesan, Pecorino Romano is a fantastic salty alternative that melts and crisps up beautifully.
