Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice fresh
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper cut into chunks
  • 1 yellow bell pepper cut into chunks
  • 1 red onion cut into chunks
  • 12-15 skewers wooden or metal

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Cutting board and knife
  • Grill or grill pan
  • Skewers (wooden or metal)
  • Tongs

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk olive oil, ranch seasoning, garlic, parmesan, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, black pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes.
  2. Cut chicken into 1-inch cubes and trim excess fat.
  3. Add chicken to marinade, coat well, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight).
  4. Cut bell peppers and onion into chunks about the same size as chicken.
  5. If using wooden skewers, soak in water 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  6. Thread skewers with chicken, peppers, and onion, leaving small gaps for even cooking.
  7. Preheat grill to medium-high (375–400°F) and oil grates.
  8. Grill skewers 12–15 minutes, turning every 3–4 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F.
  9. Rest skewers 3–5 minutes, garnish with parsley and extra parmesan, then serve hot.

Notes

Marinate overnight for deeper flavor. Use metal skewers for convenience. Great with rice pilaf, grilled veggies, or a fresh garden salad.
