Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  • Medium bowl
  • whisk
  • Grill
  • Wooden or metal skewers
  • Meat Thermometer
  • tongs

Method
 

  1. Cut the chicken breasts into even, 1-inch cubes.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Parmesan cheese, ranch seasoning mix, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried parsley, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium heat (around 350-400°F or 175-200°C). If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning.
  5. Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, leaving a small space between each piece.
  6. Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 8-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer to ensure accurate doneness.
  7. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Don't overcrowd the grill. Control flare-ups by moving the skewers or closing the lid briefly. Serve immediately for the best flavor. For Oven Chicken Skewers, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. Serve with rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
