Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Skewers:
  • - 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • - Cajun seasoning to taste
  • - Wooden skewers soaked in water 30 minutes
For the Garlic Parmesan Sauce:
  • - 1 stick 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • - 1 cup heavy cream
  • - 2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
  • - 4 garlic cloves minced
  • - 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped

Method
 

  1. Cut chicken thighs into 1-inch cubes and season generously with Cajun seasoning. Soak skewers 30 minutes.
  2. Make sauce by melting butter, cooking garlic until fragrant, adding cream, then whisking in cheese until smooth. Add seasonings.
  3. Thread seasoned chicken onto skewers with small gaps between pieces.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat and oil grates to prevent sticking.
  5. Grill skewers 8-12 minutes, flipping every 2 minutes until internal temp reaches 165°F.
  6. Brush hot skewers generously with garlic parmesan sauce immediately after grilling.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with extra sauce on side.

Notes

- Chicken thighs stay juicier than breasts for skewers
- Use freshly grated parmesan for best sauce texture
- Don't apply sauce until after grilling to prevent burning
- Internal temperature must reach 165°F for food safety
