Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 4 ounces ranch dressing (1/2 cup) - prefer homemade
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free parmesan, divided
  • 1/4 bunch fresh parsley, chopped (about 1/4 cup finely chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  • Skewers
  • grill or oven or air fryer
  • mixing bowl
  • baking sheet

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Trim and chop your boneless skinless chicken breast into bite-sized chunks.
  2. Toss chicken with ranch dressing, 1/4 cup parmesan, minced garlic, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, up to overnight.
  3. Thread the seasoned chicken onto skewers.
  4. GRILL - Heat the grill to medium heat around 350°F. Brush grates with olive oil. Place kabobs on the grill and grill for 5 minutes. Flip, and cook 4-5 minutes more or until chicken is browned. Chicken should be cooked through to an internal temp of 165°F.
  5. OVEN - Preheat oven to Broil. Place skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment. If you have a cooling rack, put that inside the sheet pan and cook them on top of that. Broil for 5 minutes, flip, and then broil for an additional 5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. AIR FRYER - Cook at 425°F for 12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  7. Once cooked, sprinkle with additional parmesan cheese and salt to taste.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before using to prevent burning. Cut chicken pieces into uniform sizes for even cooking. Let marinated chicken come to room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking. Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness at 165°F. Rest the skewers for 5 minutes after cooking for juicier results.
