Ingredients
  

For the chicken skewers
  • 2 lbs boneless chicken (breasts or thighs) You can use either chicken breasts or thighs, though thighs are more forgiving.
  • 2 tbsp olive oil For coating the chicken.
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 6 cloves fresh garlic Crushed garlic to mix with the chicken.
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese Use fresh grated parmesan for best flavor.
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning This adds depth of flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels to ensure crispy edges when cooked.
  2. Cut the chicken into 1.5-inch cubes.
  3. In a bowl, combine the chicken with olive oil, salt, pepper, crushed garlic, and grated parmesan. Mix well.
Skewering & Cooking
  1. Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  2. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, leaving some space for even cooking.
  3. Preheat your Blackstone griddle until very hot.
  4. Place the skewers on the griddle and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side.
  5. When both sides are golden and the cheese starts to crisp, the skewers are ready.
  6. Optionally, sprinkle red pepper flakes towards the end if you like heat.

Notes

Serve with warm pita bread, grilled corn, or a green salad. Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze for extra flair. Paring with tater tots can turn it into a comfort food feast.
