Ingredients

1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes

1/2 cup ranch dressing (bottled or homemade)

3 cloves fresh garlic, minced

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

1 tbsp olive oil

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix ranch dressing, garlic, olive oil, parmesan, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours).

If using wooden skewers, soak in water for 20–30 minutes. Thread chicken pieces onto skewers.

Preheat grill to medium-high. Grill skewers for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and lightly charred.

Alternatively, preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place skewers on a lined baking sheet and bake for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Garnish with extra parmesan and fresh herbs if desired, then serve.

Notes

Marinate at least 30 minutes for best flavor; longer is better.

Add vegetables to skewers for more color and freshness.

Use Pecorino Romano instead of parmesan for a sharper taste.

A spicy version can include red pepper flakes or hot sauce.

Serve with ranch dressing on the side or inside pitas.
