  • Set type.
  • Draw a box behind it
  • Select box and type
  • Use the Shear Tool - click once on one side of the box to set the origin, then click-drag at the other side of the box, hold the Shift down and drag up or down.

There are a few other methods you could use, from the Free Transform Tool to Type on a Path to Envelopes and transform effects, but this is probably the most straightforward method.
