Chicken skewers
  • 2 lb chicken breasts
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 0.5 cup ranch dressing
  • 0.25 cup olive oil
  • 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 4 garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  • 0.1 pepper to taste
  • 1 pair wooden skewers, soaked
  • 1 fresh parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 grill grates

Method
 

Make the ranch garlic parmesan marinade
  1. In a bowl, mix ranch dressing, olive oil, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, ranch seasoning mix, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Add the chicken breasts chunks to the marinade and toss until evenly coated.
Marinate and skewer
  1. Refrigerate the marinating chicken for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  2. Thread the marinated chicken onto soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between pieces for even grilling.
Grill
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates.
  2. Grill the skewers for 5-6 minutes per side, until the chicken reaches 165°F and has nice char marks.
Serve
  1. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with extra ranch for dipping.

Notes

For the most visible parmesan crust, let the chicken sit in the marinade without excess drips before threading, and grill on a preheated surface. Refrigerate cooked skewers up to 3 days; reheat on the grill or in an oven at 350°F until warmed through. Freezing is not recommended due to texture changes in the chicken. For a lower-fat option, use light ranch dressing and reduce Parmesan slightly to keep the marinade cohesive.
