Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken tenders or boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes or halved grape tomatoes
- Fresh basil leaves (optional, for added flavor)
- Wooden skewers or metal skewers
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Hot wing sauce or spicy marinade (optional for extra kick)
- Edible metallic gold or silver food spray (for a metallic, ‘adamantium’ look)
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken pieces in olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor.
- Preheat your grill or oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Thread the skewers in the following order: a piece of chicken, a mozzarella cube, a cherry tomato, and a basil leaf (if using). Repeat this sequence to fill the skewer.
- For a metallic “adamantium” finish, lightly spray the assembled skewers with food-grade metallic spray.
- Grill or bake the skewers for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
- Optionally, brush with hot wing sauce during the last 5 minutes for an extra spicy punch.
Notes
- Ensure even marination for maximum flavor absorption.
- Use a food-safe metallic spray to achieve the metallic ‘adamantium’ effect.
- For extra crunch, try adding crispy fried onions or bread crumbs.
