Ingredients
  

Chicken and marinade
  • 2 lb chicken breasts cut into chunks
  • 0.5 cup ranch dressing
  • 0.25 cup olive oil
  • 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 4 clove garlic minced
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 0.5 salt to taste
  • 0.5 pepper to taste
Skewer assembly
  • 1 pair Wooden skewers soaked
  • 0.25 cup Fresh parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 grill

Method
 

Make the ranch garlic Parmesan marinade
  1. In a bowl, mix ranch dressing, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, garlic, ranch seasoning mix, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until evenly combined.
  2. Add the chicken chunks to the marinade, toss to coat thoroughly, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Skewer and grill
  1. Thread the marinated chicken onto soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between chunks so they char evenly.
  2. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
  3. Grill skewers for 5-6 minutes per side, turning once, until chicken reaches 165°F and you see nice char marks.
Serve
  1. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with extra ranch for dipping.

Notes

For the juiciest skewers, keep the chicken in a single layer while marinating and avoid overcooking once the grill temperature is steady. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container up to 3 days; reheat gently in a skillet or on the grill until warmed through. Freezing is not recommended for the best texture. For a lighter swap, use low-fat ranch dressing and reduced-fat Parmesan to keep the ranch-seasoned flavor with fewer calories.
