Looking to steal the spotlight at your next gathering? These Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers are just what you need!
Tender chunks of chicken that have been threaded on to skewers, baked until golden brown, and coated with the most delicious garlic parmesan butter sauce!
WHY YOU WILL LOVE THE RECIPE?
  • Flavor-Packed : These skewers are so juicy and bursting with buttery, garlic flavor in every bite!
  • Easy to Make : The ingredient list for this recipe is pretty standard that you keep around in the pantry so you can whip up the skewers in a matter of minutes!
  • Extremely Versatile : This recipe is extremely versatile. The chicken skewers can be served as an appetizer for a game night or whip them up alongside a green salad for a family-friendly weeknight dinner.


WHAT KIND OF CHICKEN SHOULD BE USED FOR THIS RECIPE?

I highly recommend using skinless, boneless, chicken thighs for these skewers. They have a higher fat content than chicken breasts-which makes them a little crispy outside and more tender and juicy inside.

CAN THESE SKEWERS BE MADE AHEAD OF TIME?

These skewers are best made fresh. However, you can marinate the chicken in the seasonings, thread onto the skewers, wrap and store them in the refrigerator a few hours ahead or upto overnight.
The garlic butter sauce can also be made in advance and stored in the fridge.

Serve these skewers on their own as an appetizers or serve them with sides like Easy Garlic Parmesan Knots, Cucumber Tomato Salad, Mashed Potatoes for a weeknight family dinner.

HOW TO STORE AND REHEAT THE LEFTOVERS

If you have any leftover chicken skewers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
To reheat, place them in the oven at 175 °C for about 5 minutes until warmed through.
