Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Easy to prep: Simple ingredients, minimal fuss.
  • Bold flavor: Ranch + garlic + Parmesan = flavor bomb.
  • Perfect for grilling: Great char, great vibes.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1½-inch chunks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1½ tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Wooden or metal skewers (if wooden, soak for 30 mins)

Instructions

  1. Make the marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, ranch seasoning, Parmesan, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  2. Marinate the chicken: Add the chicken chunks to the bowl and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 8 hours for max flavor).
  3. Skewer it: Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
  4. Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high. Grill skewers for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until chicken is golden and cooked through.
  5. Serve: Sprinkle with more Parmesan and chopped parsley if you’re feeling fancy. Pair with a side salad or grilled veggies for the full experience.

Tips & Variations

  • No grill? Bake skewers at 425°F on a foil-lined sheet for 20–25 minutes. Broil for 2 minutes at the end for char.
  • Add veggies: Bell peppers, zucchini, or red onion chunks work great between chicken pieces.
  • Make it spicy: Add crushed red pepper flakes to the marinade for a little kick.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1½ tablespoons ranch seasoning mix (dry)

  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • Salt & freshly cracked black pepper (to taste)

  • Wooden or metal skewers (if wooden, soak for 30 mins)

Instructions

1

Make the Marinade:

In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, ranch seasoning, Parmesan, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
2

Marinate the Chicken:

Add chicken chunks and toss to fully coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours for best flavor.
3

Assemble Skewers:

Thread chicken onto skewers, leaving a little space between pieces for even cooking.
4

Grill the Skewers:

Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is golden with light char and fully cooked (internal temp: 165°F).
5

Serve:

Garnish with more Parmesan or fresh parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

  • No Grill? Bake the skewers at 425°F (220°C) for 20–25 minutes on a foil-lined baking sheet. Broil for 1–2 minutes at the end to get that golden char.
  • Add Veggies: Thread in colorful veggies like bell peppers, red onion, zucchini, or cherry tomatoes between the chicken pieces for more flavor and texture.
  • Spice It Up: Add ½ teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes to the marinade if you want a little heat.
  • Cheese Upgrade: Swap grated Parmesan with freshly shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano for a richer flavor.
  • Make-Ahead Friendly: Marinate the chicken the night before and store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to skewer and cook.
  • Leftovers? Use extra chicken in wraps, on top of salads, or mixed into pasta for a quick next-day meal.
