1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes

Wooden or metal skewers
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
In a bowl, mix the ranch dressing, parmesan cheese, olive oil, garlic, parsley, black pepper, garlic powder, and lemon juice until combined.
02 -
Place the cubed chicken into a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
03 -
Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving space between each piece. Soak wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes beforehand if using wooden skewers.
04 -
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
05 -
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and has a nice char on the outside.
06 -
Let the skewers rest for a few minutes after grilling. Garnish with parsley or parmesan cheese, if desired, and serve with your choice of side dishes or dipping sauces.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Soaking wooden skewers in water helps prevent burning on the grill.
02 -
Marinating the chicken for more than 1 hour enhances flavor depth.
