Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 lbs chicken breasts, cubed
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 7-9 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

Instructions
 

  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water to prevent burning during cooking.
  • Preheat oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Toss cubed chicken with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • In a small bowl, melt butter. Stir in garlic, parmesan, red pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning. Reserve a few spoonfuls for serving.
  • Thread seasoned chicken cubes tightly onto skewers and place on prepared baking sheet.
  • Brush skewers generously with garlic parmesan butter mixture.
  • Bake for 13–15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Broil for 1–2 minutes until crisp.
  • Brush skewers with reserved garlic parmesan sauce before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

These skewers are also great grilled if you prefer to cook outdoors. Serve with a side of garlic bread or over a bed of greens.
