Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 6 pieces Wooden skewers
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent burning if cooking indoors in the oven.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks, approximately 1 inch in size.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Add the chicken chunks to the bowl and toss until the chicken is evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Thread the seasoned chicken pieces onto the wooden skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece to ensure even cooking.
Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a grill pan, brush lightly with oil to prevent sticking.
Brush each skewer lightly with BBQ sauce, saving some for additional brushing during cooking.
If using a grill pan: Place the skewers on the preheated grill pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, rotating as needed, until the chicken is cooked through and charred slightly. Brush with BBQ sauce during the last few minutes of cooking.
If using the oven: Place the skewers on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through. Brush with BBQ sauce during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Remove the skewers from the heat and let them rest for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Serve immediately with additional BBQ sauce on the side for dipping, if preferred.
