Full Recipe:

Ingredients

For the Marinade:

• ½ cup ranch dressing (store-bought or homemade)

• ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 teaspoon dried parsley (or fresh parsley, chopped)

• ½ teaspoon black pepper

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional for extra tang)

For the Skewers:

• 1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes

• Wooden or metal skewers

Directions

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together the ranch dressing, grated parmesan cheese, olive oil, minced garlic, parsley, black pepper, garlic powder, and lemon juice (if using) until well combined.

2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the cubed chicken into a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2–4 hours, to allow the flavors to meld.

3. Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, ensuring they are evenly spaced.

4. Grill the Skewers: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is no longer pink in the center.

5. Serve: Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve hot, garnished with additional chopped parsley or grated parmesan if desired.
