Description
These juicy, flavor-packed skewers combine ranch seasoning, garlic, and parmesan for the ultimate grilled chicken experience — ready in under 30 minutes!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1.5-inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, ranch seasoning, minced garlic, parmesan, lemon zest, parsley, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir into a paste.
- Add chicken cubes and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 4 hours.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them for 15 minutes. Thread chicken pieces onto skewers with small gaps in between.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat (375-400°F) and oil the grates.
- Grill skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, rotating until chicken reaches 165°F and has nice grill marks.
- Remove from grill, rest for 3-5 minutes, then serve with additional parsley and parmesan if desired.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, substitute nutritional yeast for parmesan. These skewers can also be baked at 425°F for 15-18 minutes if grilling isn’t an option.
