Ingredients
– 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– ¼ cup olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 teaspoons dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, or thyme)

Instructions
Preparing Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers is simple with these easy steps:
1. Marinade Preparation: In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian herbs, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, stirring well to coat. Cover the bowl and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for enhanced flavor.
3. Preheat the Grill: While the chicken is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Prepare Skewers: If using wooden skewers, ensure they have been soaked. Thread marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, placing them close together but not overcrowded.
5. Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes on each side or until chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F).
6. Check for Doneness: Ensure that the chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear.
7. Serve Promptly: Remove from the grill and let the skewers rest for a few minutes.
8. Garnish (Optional): For an additional flavor boost, sprinkle some extra Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley over the skewers before serving.
