– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions
Creating delicious Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers is simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning while grilling.
2. Make Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
3. Marinate Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade. Mix well to ensure each piece is coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for optimal flavor.
4. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
5. Assemble Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the prepared skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
6. Grill Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
7. Check Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
8. Serve: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
