Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Add chicken cubes to the marinade, tossing to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for more flavor).
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- To assemble each skewer, thread one piece of chicken, then a cube of mozzarella, followed by another piece of chicken, making sure to keep the cheese in the middle. Repeat until the skewer is full.
- Grill skewers for 4–5 minutes per side, or until chicken is cooked through and cheese is melted inside.
- Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For more flavor, marinate the chicken for up to 2 hours.
- Ensure the skewers are soaked in water if using wooden skewers to prevent burning.
- Feel free to add vegetables like bell peppers or onions for added flavor and nutrition.
