Ingredients
  

1 lb (450 g) chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes

1 cup buttermilk

2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (plus extra for garnish)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden, soak in water for 30 minutes)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, ranch seasoning mix, minced garlic, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes (if using). Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for best flavor.

    Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, make sure they are soaked in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.

      Assemble the Skewers: In a separate bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.

        Coat with Cheese Mixture: Once all the chicken is skewered, roll each skewer in the Parmesan and parsley mixture, pressing lightly to help it adhere to the chicken.

          Grill the Skewers: Lightly brush the skewers with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place them on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice char marks. Always check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

            Serve: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill. Garnish with additional chopped parsley and serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce, or enjoy them as is!
