– 1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite-sized cubes
– 1/4 cup ranch dressing
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– Skewers (wooden or metal)
– Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Creating these incredible Grilled Ranch Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the ranch dressing, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken cubes and toss until well coated. Allow marinating in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 20 minutes to prevent burning while grilling. If using metal skewers, you can skip this step.
3. Skewer the Chicken: Take the marinated chicken out of the refrigerator. Thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
4. Add Parmesan: Once the skewers are prepared, sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the chicken pieces. Ensure they are well coated for maximum flavor.
5. Grill the Skewers: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally for even cooking, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
