Ingredients
– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 1 cup ranch dressing

– ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes before using)
Instructions
Follow these easy steps to create Ranch Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, mix ranch dressing, minced garlic, olive oil, black pepper, and paprika.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the bowl, ensuring they’re thoroughly coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
3. Preheat the Grill or Oven: If grilling, heat your grill to medium-high. If using an oven, preheat it to 400°F (200°C).
4. Prep the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, make sure they’ve been soaked in water. Begin threading the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers.
5. Add Parmesan: Once the chicken is skewered, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese evenly over all sides.
6. Cook the Chicken: Place the skewers on the grill or a baking sheet in the oven. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
7. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
8. Serve Immediately: Once cooked, take off the skewers and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
