– 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions
Creating Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers is a straightforward process. Follow these detailed steps to ensure you create a delicious dish that will impress everyone:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well until combined.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken cubes to the marinade. Ensure that each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the Grill: While the chicken is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Thread the Chicken onto Skewers: Once marinated, carefully thread the chicken pieces onto your skewers. Leave a little space between each piece for even cooking. Depending on the size of your skewers, you may need 4-6 pieces per skewer.
5. Grill the Skewers: Place the chicken skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
6. Check Doneness: Make sure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) to ensure it’s fully cooked.
7. Garnish: Once done, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a pop of color and additional flavor.
8. Serve: Serve the Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers warm, either alone or with dipping sauces like ranch or a lemon herb sauce.
