Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Marinade

  • 1 lb chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 3 garlic cloves, freshly minced
  • 1/4 cup plant-based Parmesan cheese (plant-based)
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Cut chicken breasts into even, bite-sized cubes to ensure uniform cooking and optimal absorption of marinade flavors.
  2. Make the marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the freshly minced garlic, plant-based Parmesan cheese (plant-based), apple cider vinegar (natural), olive oil, natural gelling agent, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
  3. Marinate the chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss well to coat thoroughly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors soak in deeply.
  4. Skewer the chicken: Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto wooden or metal skewers, leaving small spaces between pieces to allow even cooking.
  5. Cook the skewers: Grill the skewers over medium-high heat for 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and forms a light golden crust.
  6. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the hot skewers and serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Cut chicken into uniform cubes for consistent cooking and juiciness.
  • Marinate up to 4 hours for deeper flavor, but no longer to maintain texture.
  • Soak wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
  • Leave small gaps between chicken pieces on skewers to ensure even heat circulation.
  • Let the skewers rest 3 minutes after cooking to lock in juices.
