Description
Savory, nutty, and tangy chicken skewers marinated in ranch dressing, garlic, and Parmesan cheese, perfect for gatherings or weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound (454 g) boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1–1.5 inch cubes
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) ranch dressing
- 1/4 cup (20–25 g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tsp)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Skewers (if wooden, soak in water for 30 minutes before using)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together ranch dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and coat well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor).
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375–450°F / 190–230°C). If using a grill pan or broiler, preheat accordingly.
- Thread marinated chicken cubes onto skewers, leaving a little space between pieces so heat circulates.
- Grill the skewers for about 10–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has clear grill marks. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
Protein is high because of lean chicken breast. Fat and sodium will vary depending on the brand of ranch dressing and Parmesan you use; choosing a light ranch will reduce calories and fat.
