Ingredients
– 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
– 1/2 cup ranch dressing

– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon paprika

– Skewers (wooden or metal)
– Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Creating Grilled Ranch Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers is straightforward when you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Skewers: If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
2. Marinate the Chicken: In a large mixing bowl, combine ranch dressing, minced garlic, black pepper, paprika, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
3. Add Chicken: Add the cubed chicken to the marinade, ensuring every piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
4. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat.
5. Skewer the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even grilling.
6. Grill the Skewers: Place the chicken skewers on the grill. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
7. Add Parmesan: In the last few minutes of cooking, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the skewers. Close the grill lid to melt the cheese slightly.
8. Check Doneness: Ensure the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
9. Rest and Garnish: Remove the skewers from the grill and allow them to rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
