Description
Juicy and flavorful chicken skewers marinated in ranch, garlic, and parmesan, then grilled to perfection. Perfect for weeknight dinners, BBQs, or meal prep.
Ingredients
1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized cubes
1/2 cup ranch dressing
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried parsley
Salt and pepper, to taste
Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine ranch dressing, olive oil, garlic, parmesan cheese, oregano, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Add the chicken cubes and toss until evenly coated with the marinade.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Thread marinated chicken onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
- Grill skewers for 5–7 minutes per side, or until chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Remove from grill, serve hot, and optionally top with extra parmesan or parsley.
Notes
Marinate for a few hours for deeper flavor.
Chicken thighs can be used instead of chicken breast for juicier skewers.
For a spicy kick, add crushed red pepper flakes to the marinade.
Try adding vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or red onion to the skewers.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat gently to avoid drying out.
