Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup plant-based Parmesan (grated)
  • 2 tablespoons natural garlic seasoning (freshly minced or powder)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley or basil, chopped)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, freshly minced garlic or garlic powder, plant-based Parmesan, lemon juice, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, fresh chopped herbs, natural gelling agent, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a flavorful marinade that will coat each chicken piece.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Cut chicken breasts into uniform bite-sized pieces. Add them to the bowl with the marinade and toss to coat each piece evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the chicken to tenderize.
  3. Assemble the Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto soaked wooden skewers or metal sticks, spacing them to ensure even cooking and moisture retention.
  4. Cook the Skewers: Preheat grill to medium-high heat or oven to 400°F (200°C). Cook the skewers for 12 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is opaque and juices run clear. This ensures even browning and thorough cooking.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove skewers from heat and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve warm with your choice of fresh sides or dipping sauces, garnished with extra chopped parsley or plant-based Parmesan for added aroma and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure chicken pieces are uniform in size for even cooking and juiciness.
  • Preheat grill or oven before cooking to achieve a nice sear and prevent sticking.
  • Marinate for at least 30 minutes but no longer than 4 hours to maintain texture and flavor.
  • Soak wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
  • Allow cooked skewers to rest briefly before serving to redistribute juices for better flavor.
