Instructions

How to Make Savory Grilled Ranch Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers

  • In a large bowl, combine cubed chicken with olive oil, lemon juice, and all the spices. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, up to 4 hours, for ultimate flavor infusion.
  • Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving some space between each piece for even cooking.
  • In a saucepan, melt butter over low heat, then add minced garlic and let it simmer for about 2 minutes.
  • Set your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F / 205°C) and allow it to reach the ideal cooking temperature before placing the skewers on.
  • Cook the chicken skewers on the grill for 8-10 minutes, turning them occasionally. Brush with garlic butter to enhance flavor.
  • Check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Once done, remove from the grill, brush with any remaining garlic butter, and garnish before serving.

Notes

Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes for best results. Optionally serve with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
