Creating delicious Ranch Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers is uncomplicated when you follow these easy steps:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the ranch dressing, minced garlic, black pepper, and paprika (if using). Mix well.

2. Add Chicken: Add the cubed chicken breasts to the marinade. Ensure each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for maximum flavor.

3. Prepare Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20-30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.

4. Preheat Cooking Surface: Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat (around 400°F) as you prepare to cook your skewers.

5. Assemble Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece. This ensures even cooking.

6. Add Cheese: Once skewered, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese generously over the chicken pieces.

7. Cook the Skewers: Grill the skewers for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. Ensure an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.

8. Garnish: Once done, remove skewers from the grill or oven and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color.
