Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chicken cubes, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to coat the chicken evenly.
- Thread the coated chicken pieces onto the prepared skewers, ensuring they are not too crowded.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill the skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and slightly browned.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- For a Halloween theme, you can use cookie cutters to shape bell peppers or cheese into spooky shapes to thread onto the skewers with the chicken.
- For a Christmas theme, add cherry tomatoes or pieces of red and green bell pepper to the skewers for a festive color combination.
- These skewers can also be baked in an oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.
