Juicy Grilled Ranch Garlic Parmesan Skewers
Tender chicken marinated in a creamy ranch dressing with aromatic garlic and savory Parmesan, perfect for busy weeknights or gatherings.
Ingredients
For the marinade
- 1/2 cup creamy ranch dressing bursts with flavor
- 1 tsp aromatic garlic powder enhances savory notes
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese brings delightful richness
- 2 tbsp olive oil adds smoothness
- Salt and black pepper to taste for seasoning
For the skewers
- 2 pieces chicken breasts cut into juicy, bite-sized pieces
- Wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning
- Fresh parsley chopped for garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat.
- In a large bowl, combine the ranch dressing, garlic powder, grated Parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the bite-sized chicken pieces into the marinade, tossing gently to ensure they're evenly coated. Let this sit for at least 30 minutes.
- Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers.
Cooking
- Grill the chicken skewers for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Remove the skewers from the grill and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
For best results, ensure even chicken size, soak skewers to prevent burning, and preheat the grill. Let skewers rest after grilling to lock in juices.
