Ingredients
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
– 1/2 cup ranch dressing
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon salt
– Skewers (soaked in water if using wooden skewers)
Instructions
Follow these easy steps to create your Grilled Ranch Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine ranch dressing, minced garlic, olive oil, black pepper, paprika, and salt.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the cubed chicken to the marinade and mix well, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
3. Preheat the Grill: Get your grill ready by preheating it to medium-high heat.
4. Prepare the Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
5. Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
6. Add Parmesan: In the last few minutes of grilling, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of the chicken skewers for added flavor.
7. Remove and Rest: Take the skewers off the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
8. Optional Garnish: Drizzle with extra ranch dressing or sprinkle with fresh herbs for a finishing touch.
With these simple steps, you’ll have beautifully grilled and flavorful chicken skewers ready to enjoy!
