Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • ½ tbsp onion powder
  • ½ tbsp garlic powder
  • ½ tbsp paprika
  • ½ Italian seasoning
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup Olive Garden Zesty Italian Dressing (plus extra for basting)
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Place the diced chicken thighs in a large bowl.
  • Season with onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  • Pour the Olive Garden Zesty Italian Dressing over the chicken and mix well. Cover and marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.
  • Assemble the skewers by threading the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • While the chicken cooks, combine a few tablespoons of the reserved Italian dressing with the grated Parmesan cheese.
  • During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the Parmesan-dressing mixture over the skewers, turning and basting once or twice to build flavor.
  • Remove from the grill and serve hot.
