Instructions
Preparing Grilled Ranch Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers is simple and straightforward. Follow these easy steps to create this extraordinary dish:
1. Cut the Chicken: Trim and cut the boneless chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes.
2. Make the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine ranch dressing, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, black pepper, paprika, salt, and olive oil. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.
3. Add Chicken to Marinade: Place chicken cubes into the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
4. Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
5. Skewer the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, placing them evenly spaced out. You can fit about 4-5 chicken pieces on each skewer.
6. Preheat the Grill: Set your grill to medium-high heat and allow it to preheat for a few minutes.
7. Grill the Skewers: Once the grill is hot, place the skewers on the grill. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
8. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature has reached 165°F (75°C).
9. Remove from Grill: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
10. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the skewers before serving for a pop of color and added freshness.
These simple steps will guarantee perfectly grilled, flavor-packed chicken skewers that will not disappoint!
