- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions
- Prepare Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

- Preheat Grill: Heat grill to medium-high.
- Skewer Chicken: Thread marinated chicken onto skewers.
- Grill: Grill skewers for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally until fully cooked. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on skewers during the last 2 minutes.
- Finish and Serve: Garnish with parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- You can bake the skewers at 400°F for 20–25 minutes if a grill is not available.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice over the skewers before serving for extra brightness.
