Description
These Ranch Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers are a flavorful and easy dinner option, perfect for grilling or baking. The chicken is marinated in a tangy ranch dressing, garlic, and Parmesan cheese, then skewered and cooked to juicy perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together ranch dressing, Parmesan cheese, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Add chicken cubes to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat or oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Thread chicken onto skewers, leaving a small space between pieces.
- Grill skewers for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Alternatively, bake on a lined baking sheet for 15–18 minutes.
- Serve hot with extra ranch dressing for dipping, if desired.
Notes
For best flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes. You can also use chicken thighs if preferred. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
