Ingredients
• 4 boneless chicken breasts, cubed
• 15 medium-sized skewers
Marinade
•1 tbsp oil
•1 tsp grated garlic
•1 tsp garlic salt
•1 tsp paprika
•1 tsp oregano
•2 tsp Italian seasoning (Blackstone Tuscan Herb or Tutto Italiano)
•1.5 tsp Blackstone Bayou Blend (Cajun seasoning)
•2 tbsp Parmesan cheese
•¼ cup Dukes Mayo
Garlic Butter
•1 stick unsalted butter, melted
•2 tbsp fresh grated garlic
•½ tsp garlic salt
•1.5 tbsp flat-leaf parsley, chopped
•2 tbsp Parmesan cheese
•Pinch of crushed red pepper
Directions
Cube the chicken and place it in a large bowl. Add the marinade ingredients, coating the chicken evenly. Marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to overnight.
Thread the chicken onto the skewers. Preheat the Blackstone griddle to medium to medium-high heat and add a thin layer of oil. Place the skewers on the griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes on each of the four sides.
While the chicken is cooking, mix the garlic butter ingredients in a small bowl. In the last couple of minutes of cooking, brush the chicken skewers with the garlic butter on both sides. Plate the skewers, garnish with more Parmesan cheese if desired, and enjoy!
I've tried many grilled chicken recipes, but these Garlic Parm Chicken Skewers really stand out because of the rich, savory flavors that come from the marinade and garlic butter glaze. The combination of garlic salt, paprika, Italian seasoning, and the Blackstone Bayou Blend Cajun seasoning creates a nicely balanced seasoning that gives the chicken both depth and a slight spicy kick. When using the Blackstone griddle, I found cooking the skewers on medium to medium-high heat allows the chicken to cook evenly and stay juicy. Brushing the skewers with the garlic butter near the end enhances the taste and keeps the chicken moist and flavorful. Using Parmesan cheese in both the marinade and garlic butter adds a delicious umami note that complements the garlic wonderfully. For anyone looking to prep ahead, marinating the chicken overnight really intensifies the flavors, although 20 minutes is sufficient if you're short on time. Using Dukes Mayo in the marinade gives the chicken a creamy texture that helps the spices adhere well. I also recommend serving these skewers with a simple side salad or grilled vegetables to make a complete meal. The crushed red pepper in the garlic butter provides a subtle heat, but you can adjust that according to your spice preference. These skewers are perfect for outdoor gatherings, easy to eat with your hands, and bring a gourmet touch to casual grilling.
