Instructions
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and put in a large bowl.
Add olive oil, ranch seasoning, dill, and spices. Mix well and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
To make garlic parmesan butter sauce, melt butter in a pan and add minced garlic. Cook 2–3 minutes.
Add hot sauce, red pepper flakes, parmesan cheese. Stir and remove from heat.
Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high.
Thread marinated chicken onto soaked skewers.
Grill skewers for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally for even cooking.
During the last few minutes, brush garlic parmesan sauce over chicken.
Remove from grill and sprinkle fresh parsley on top.
Serve hot and enjoy that tender ranch garlic parmesan flavor!
Notes
Store leftover skewers in the fridge up to 3 days or freeze for 2 months. Reheat using oven or pressure cooker for best tenderness without drying out.
