Instructions
Chicken Kabobs
- Cut the chicken tenders or breasts into 1 ½ -2 cubes.

Roasted Garlic
- While chicken marinates. Cook the garlic. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Cut the top of the garlic head to expose the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and then sprinkle with kosher salt. Cover with foil and then roast for 30-40 minutes on the top rack. Or until the garlic is soft. Remove from oven and allow it to cool a bit before squeezing out the garlic.
- Thread the chicken on skewers and place on a baking sheet. Bake the chicken kabobs for about 10-12 minutes at 425°F. Flip them halfway and baste them to keep them juicy. Once cooked, remove from the oven.
Garlic Parmesan Sauce
- While the chicken cooks make the sauce.
- Melt 1 stick of butter over low heat in a small pot.
- Squeeze the roasted garlic into a plate and mash with a fork, then add the garlic into the pot with melted butter.
- Sprinkle the red pepper flakes, oregano and smoked paprika. Add mayonnaise and lemon juice, whisk until combined,
- Add parmesan cheese, chopped basil, and some of the chicken juices left on the baking sheet, and mix well.
- Dip each kabob into the sauce. Add to a serving platter and sprinkle with extra chopped basil. Add the remaining sauce into a small bowl and serve with the kabobs. Serve with roasted veggies and your favorite side.
