Instructions

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

Add chicken cubes and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours).

Preheat grill to medium-high. Soak wooden skewers in water for 10–15 minutes if using.

Thread marinated chicken onto skewers, spacing pieces slightly.

Grill for 5–7 minutes per side, until chicken is fully cooked and has grill marks.

Garnish with extra parsley if desired. Serve hot with a dipping sauce or side dish.

Notes

Add crushed red pepper flakes for heat.

Boneless thighs can be used instead of breasts for more juiciness.

Bake in a 400°F oven for 15–20 minutes as an alternative to grilling.

Fresh Parmesan yields better flavor, but pre-grated is acceptable.
