Ingredients
  

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

1/4 cup ranch dressing

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 teaspoons dried Italian herbs (such as oregano, basil, and thyme)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

8-10 wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the ranch dressing, olive oil, minced garlic, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Add the cubes of chicken and toss gently until they are thoroughly coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. For a more intense flavor, marinate for up to 2 hours.

    Prepare Skewers: If using wooden skewers, ensure they have been soaked in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill. Meanwhile, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

      Skewer the Chicken: Carefully thread the marinated pieces of chicken onto the soaked skewers, leaving a small gap between each cube to ensure even cooking and proper heat circulation.

        Grill the Skewers: Place the chicken skewers onto the preheated grill. Cook for approximately 12-15 minutes, turning them occasionally to achieve an even char. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and has developed beautiful grill marks.

          Add Cheese Topping: In the last few minutes of grilling, generously sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken skewers. Close the grill lid during this time to allow the cheese to melt perfectly.

            Serve: Once grilled to perfection, remove the skewers from the grill and allow them to rest for a couple of minutes. Before serving, garnish the skewers with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant finish.

              Enjoy: Present these delicious skewers with a side of extra ranch dressing for dipping. They make for a delightful appetizer or a hearty main dish that everyone will love!
