Ingredients
  

Main ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts Best choice for even cooking
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing Store-bought or homemade
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese Optional to sprinkle more during cooking
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • as needed units Wooden or metal skewers Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes if grilling

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes.
  • In a large bowl, combine ranch dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and dried parsley. Stir well until the mixture is smooth.
  • Add the chicken cubes to the bowl and toss them in the marinade until fully coated.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, preferably a few hours or overnight.

Cooking

  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  • Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
  • Grill the skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. If using the oven, place them on a baking sheet and bake for about 15-20 minutes.
  • Remove the skewers from the heat and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
