Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes)

How to Make Grilled Chicken Skewers with Creamy Sauce

1. In a bowl, combine the cubed chicken, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
3. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
4. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
5. While the chicken is grilling, prepare the creamy garlic sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, pour in the heavy cream. Stir frequently and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
6. Add any remaining minced garlic to the sauce and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
7. Once the chicken skewers are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
8. To serve, drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the skewers and garnish with fresh parsley.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the grill is hot before placing the skewers on it to achieve nice grill marks.
• Avoid overcrowding the skewers to allow for even cooking.
• Let the chicken rest after grilling to keep it juicy.

Easy Variations

• Substitute chicken with shrimp or cubed beef for different flavors.
• Add vegetables such as bell peppers, zucchini, or cherry tomatoes to the skewers for added color and nutrition.
• Spice up the creamy garlic sauce with some red pepper flakes for a kick.

What to Serve With It

• Serve with a fresh green salad for a light meal.
• Pair with rice or quinoa to soak up the creamy sauce.
• Garlic bread or pita can complement the dish nicely.
