For the Chicken

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes, ensuring that all pieces are roughly the same size for even cooking. Set the cubed chicken aside while you prepare the marinade.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, dried Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and chopped fresh parsley until well combined.
  3. Add the cubed chicken to the marinade and stir until each piece is fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Soak your wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill. After soaking, thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F to 400°F. Place the chicken skewers on the grill and grill for 10 to 12 minutes, turning frequently.
  6. Carefully remove the Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers from the grill and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
