Instructions

  • Add cubed chicken to a large bowl with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly, then thread the chicken onto skewers.
  • Grill over medium-high heat for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until browned and cooked through. Let rest for a couple of minutes once off the grill. ( I used my cast iron indoor grill for this!)
  • While the chicken cooks, melt butter in a small saucepan on low heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Turn off the heat and stir in parmesan, herbs, and red pepper flakes.
  • Brush or drizzle the garlic parmesan butter over the hot chicken skewers. Sprinkle with extra parmesan and herbs before serving.
  • Toss romaine with croutons, Caesar dressing, pickled red onions, and grated parmesan. Serve alongside the skewers. Enjoy!
