Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 ounce dry ranch seasoning mix
  • 0.5 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic , minced
  • 1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

  • Submerge wooden skewers in cold water for 30 minutes to saturate the wood fibers and prevent combustion during the grilling process.
  • In a non-reactive mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, dry ranch seasoning, grated parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and black pepper to form a thick marinade paste.
  • Incorporate the chicken cubes into the marinade, ensuring a uniform coating on all surface areas; allow to marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
  • Preheat the outdoor grill to medium-high heat, targeting a surface temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Thread the seasoned chicken pieces onto the prepared skewers, leaving approximately 0.25 inches of space between each piece to ensure adequate airflow and even heat distribution.
  • Place skewers on the grill grates and sear for 12 to 15 minutes, rotating 90 degrees every 3 to 4 minutes to achieve consistent browning and an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Remove skewers from the heat source and allow to rest for 3 minutes before garnishing with chopped parsley and serving.
