Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Marinade

  • 1 lb boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup plant-based Parmesan
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of natural gelling agent (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together minced garlic, plant-based Parmesan, olive oil, lemon juice, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), chopped fresh parsley and thyme, salt, black pepper, and a small pinch of natural gelling agent if desired. This flavorful mixture will coat the chicken with rich layers of taste.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the marinade, tossing until each piece is fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to deeply infuse the chicken.
  3. Assemble the Skewers: Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning, or use metal skewers. Thread the marinated chicken pieces evenly onto the skewers without crowding to ensure even cooking and tender bites.
  4. Grill to Perfection: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the skewers for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, turning once, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked, juicy, and has appealing grill marks. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the skewers from the heat and let them rest briefly to allow the juices to redistribute. Garnish with additional chopped fresh parsley or thyme and serve with your favorite sides or dipping sauces.

Notes

  • Marinate the chicken for up to 2 hours or overnight for even more tender and flavorful results.
  • Use freshly minced garlic for the best aromatic impact.
  • Avoid overcrowding the grill to prevent steaming and ensure even cooking.
  • Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption while remaining juicy.
  • A pinch of natural gelling agent can be added to the marinade for a subtle glaze texture on the chicken.
