Ingredients

Scale

2 large chicken breasts (about 500 g / 1.1 lb), boneless and skinless
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

Prep chicken: Dice chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces for even cooking.
Make marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, Parmesan, garlic, lemon juice, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Marinate: Toss chicken pieces in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Skewer: Thread marinated chicken onto skewers.
Grill: Heat grill pan or skillet over medium-high. Cook skewers for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F).
Serve: Garnish with parsley and extra Parmesan. Enjoy hot with keto-friendly sides.

Notes

Use chicken thighs for juicier skewers if preferred.
Slightly broil at the end for a crispier finish.
Add bell peppers or mushrooms on skewers for variety.
Soak wooden skewers for 20 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
Pairs perfectly with cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles.
