Ingredients
  

chicken breasts chunks
  • 2 lb chicken breasts cut into chunks
ranch marinade
  • 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
  • 1 Salt and pepper to taste
skewers and garnish
  • 1 Wooden skewers soaked
  • 1 Fresh parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 grill

Method
 

Make the marinade
  1. In a mixing step, combine ranch dressing, olive oil, Parmesan, garlic, ranch seasoning mix, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until evenly blended.
Marinate the chicken
  1. Add chicken chunks to the marinade and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Skewer and grill
  1. Thread the chicken onto soaked wooden skewers so the pieces sit close together.
  2. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
  3. Grill the skewers for 5-6 minutes per side until the chicken reaches 165°F and shows nice char marks.
Serve
  1. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with extra ranch for dipping.

Notes

For extra Parmesan crust, let the marinated chicken rest at the start of grilling so the Parmesan can adhere before the first turn. Refrigerate in a covered container for up to 3 days; freeze cooked skewers for up to 2 months. Dietary swap: use a low-fat or Greek-yogurt-based ranch-style dressing to reduce calories while keeping the same flavor profile.
