2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon honey

Whisk lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, chopped basil, minced garlic, honey, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Add chicken cubes to the marinade, coat well, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 4 hours.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Thread chicken onto skewers.
Grill skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and grill marks appear.
Rest skewers for a few minutes, garnish with extra basil, and serve.
