Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup high-quality ranch dressing
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • Wooden or metal skewers

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • cutting board
  • knife
  • Grill
  • Skewers
  • Meat Thermometer
  • tongs

Method
 

  1. Cut the chicken breasts into even, 1-inch cubes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the ranch dressing, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, olive oil, dried Italian herbs, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well.
  3. Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F or 190-205°C). Ensure the grates are clean.
  5. Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, leaving a small space between each piece. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
  6. Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly charred. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality ranch dressing. Soaking wooden skewers prevents burning. Adjust seasoning to taste, being mindful of the saltiness of the Parmesan. Marinating the chicken longer results in more flavorful and tender chicken. Serve with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
