Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons dry ranch seasoning mix
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- Skewers (soak wooden skewers for 30 minutes if using)
Instructions
1. Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, pepper, and salt.
Add chicken cubes and toss to coat evenly.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
2. Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
3. Assemble the Skewers
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
4. Grill
Place skewers on the grill and cook for 8β10 minutes, turning occasionally until chicken is fully cooked and has visible grill marks.
During the last 2 minutes of grilling, sprinkle the Parmesan cheese directly over the skewers. Allow it to melt and slightly crisp.
5. Serve
Remove from the grill and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad, grilled vegetables, or rice.
