Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Marinade

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size chunks
  • 4 garlic cloves, freshly minced (natural)
  • 1/3 cup plant-based parmesan (plant-based)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade: In a medium bowl, combine minced garlic, olive oil, apple cider vinegar (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), plant-based parmesan (plant-based), chopped fresh parsley and oregano, salt, and pepper. Whisk everything together until smooth to create a fragrant, creamy marinade.
  2. Marinate the chicken: Cut chicken breasts into evenly sized chunks. Toss the chicken pieces in the marinade, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for best flavor and tenderness.
  3. Thread onto skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving space between pieces for even heat circulation.
  4. Cook to perfection: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare grill to medium heat. Place skewers on a baking tray and roast for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway, or grill until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and edges are lightly browned.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Remove skewers from heat and let rest for a couple of minutes. Serve warm with your favorite sides or dipping sauces. Garnish with fresh herbs or additional plant-based parmesan (plant-based) if desired.

Notes

  • Marinate chicken overnight for deeper flavor.
  • Cut chicken into even chunks to ensure uniform cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd skewers; leave space between pieces.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked safely.
  • Allow skewers to rest before serving for maximum juiciness.
