Grilled Ranch Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers
When I fire up the grill for these Ranch Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers, the neighborhood practically stops in its tracks. There is something about the combination of zesty ranch, pungent garlic, and salty parmesan that creates an aroma unlike anything else.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- ½ cup ranch dressing
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup finely grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ cup fresh parsley chopped
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes and place in a large bowl.
- Add the ranch dressing, minced garlic, olive oil, and pepper. Toss to coat and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water during the marinating time.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
- Thread the chicken onto the skewers. Sprinkle half of the parmesan cheese over all sides of the skewers, pressing lightly so it sticks.
- Grill for 5–6 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through (165°F) and the cheese is golden and crispy.
- Remove from the grill and immediately sprinkle with the remaining parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
- Serve warm with extra ranch on the side for dipping.
