Notes

Breast or Thigh? Chicken thighs offer more moisture, but breasts work great for leaner bites.
Extra Garlicky? Add a pinch of garlic powder to the skewers right before grilling.
No Grill? Cook these on a stovetop grill pan or bake at 400°F for 20–25 minutes.
Garnish Ideas: Fresh parsley, extra parmesan, or a drizzle of lemon juice brighten things up.
Storage: Leftover skewers keep in the fridge for 2–3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or oven.
