Description
Ranch Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers are juicy, cheesy, and packed with smoky grilled flavor. Made with ranch dressing, parmesan cheese, and garlic, these skewers are perfect for summer barbecues, family dinners, or party appetizers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup Ranch Dressing – creamy, tangy base for marinade
- 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese – adds nutty, salty flavor
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced – for bold aroma and taste
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil – locks in moisture
- 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped – adds freshness
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper – balances flavors
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder – enhances garlicky flavor
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice (optional) – brightens the marinade
- 2 lbs Boneless Chicken Breasts or Thighs, cubed – main protein
- Wooden or Metal Skewers – for assembling
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together ranch dressing, parmesan cheese, olive oil, garlic, parsley, black pepper, garlic powder, and lemon juice (if using).
- Place cubed chicken in a resealable bag or dish, pour in the marinade, and coat evenly. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes if using. Thread marinated chicken cubes onto skewers.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill skewers for 10–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) and develops char marks.
- Remove from grill, rest for a few minutes, then garnish with parsley or extra parmesan before serving.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd chicken pieces on skewers for even cooking.
- Marinating overnight enhances flavor.
- Can be baked in the oven at 400°F for 20–25 minutes as an alternative.
- Pair with veggies, rice, or dipping sauces like ranch, garlic butter, or spicy aioli.
