Instructions
Creating delicious Ranch Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium-sized bowl, combine ranch dressing, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for stronger flavor).
3. Preheat the Grill/Oven: If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
4. Soak Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
5. Skewer the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers. Leave a little space between each piece for even cooking.
6. Sprinkle Parmesan: Once the skewers are assembled, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken.
7. Cook the Skewers:
– For Grill: Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
– For Oven: Place the skewers on a baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until cooked through.
8. Serve: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
