Ingredients

– 1/4 cup ranch dressing
– 3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
Creating Grilled Ranch Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers is a straightforward process. Just follow these clear steps:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine ranch dressing, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and salt. Stir well until fully mixed. Add the chicken cubes, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill. If you’re using metal skewers, you can skip this step.
3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals have turned white and are hot.
4. Assemble the Skewers: Thread marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, alternating with vegetables if desired for added color and flavor.
5. Oil the Grill Grates: Lightly brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
6. Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
7. Serve: Once fully cooked, remove the skewers from the grill. Let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
8. Optional Topping: Sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese over the top for an extra burst of flavor.
With these steps finalized, you’ll be enjoying delicious grilled skewers in no time!
