  3. Combine cubed chicken breasts with olive oil and seasonings in a large bowl, mixing well.
  4. Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl and mix in minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning.
  5. Thread marinated chicken pieces onto soaked skewers and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Brush skewers generously with the prepared sauce.
  7. Bake for 13-15 minutes, turning halfway through for even cooking, then broil for 1-2 minutes until crispy.
