All the comforting flavour of chicken parmesan, reimagined as fun, hands-on skewers. Chunks of chicken are seasoned with Italian herbs and smoked paprika, coated in crunchy parmesan crumbs, then grilled or baked until golden. In the final minutes, marinara and mozzarella melt over the top for that classic cheesy finish. Scatter with fresh basil and serve them as a party appetizer or a playful weeknight dinner.
