Ingredients
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper for the marinade.
Step 2: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Step 3: While the chicken marinates, prepare the creamy garlic sauce. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, parsley, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Mix well until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Step 4: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.
Step 5: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
Step 6: Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks (internal temperature should reach 165°F / 75°C).
Step 7: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 8: Serve the juicy grilled chicken bites with the creamy garlic sauce on the side for dipping. Garnish with extra parsley or lemon wedges if desired.
Notes
For an extra burst of freshness, garnish the finished chicken with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
