Marinate the Chicken:
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, seasonings, lemon juice, and Parmesan. Add the cubed chicken and toss to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20–30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, leaving a bit of space between each piece for even cooking.
- Grill method: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Cook skewers for about 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
- Oven method: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place skewers on a lined baking sheet and bake for 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway. Broil for an additional 1–2 minutes for a crispier edge.
Sprinkle with extra Parmesan and chopped herbs. Serve hot with your favorite sides or sauces.
