– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 1/4 cup ranch dressing (store-bought or homemade)
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 tablespoons minced garlic
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon dried parsley
– Salt, to taste
– Skewers (wooden or metal)
Cooking Grilled Ranch Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers is simple and enjoyable. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
2. Mix Marinade: In a bowl, combine ranch dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, olive oil, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, and a pinch of salt.
3. Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken pieces in a large resealable bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to marinate.
4. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F to 400°F).
5. Assemble the Skewers: Remove chicken from marinade and thread the pieces onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.
6. Grill Skewers: Place the prepared skewers on the grill. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
7. Add Extra Cheese: For an added cheesy touch, sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese on skewers during the last few minutes of grilling.
8. Remove and Serve: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Following these straightforward steps will ensure that your Grilled Ranch Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers are flavorful and cooked to perfection.
