Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, basil, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Add the chicken, coat well, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375°F to 400°F) while the chicken marinates.
Thread chicken, mushrooms, tomatoes, and green onions onto skewers, alternating between the ingredients.
Grill skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove from grill and let rest for a minute before serving with lemon wedges.
