Now let’s get cooking! This is where the magic happens. Follow these steps, and you’ll have dinner on the table in no time:

1. Start by cutting your chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes. I like to visualize them as little bites of happiness.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ranch dressing, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is well mixed.
3. Add the chicken cubes to the bowl, making sure they’re coated evenly with the ranch mixture. I love to get my hands in there—nothing beats feeling the food you’re preparing!
4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. If you’re short on time, even a quick 10 minutes will work.
5. While the chicken is marinating, preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
6. Once marinated, thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers. I usually fit about 4-5 pieces per skewer, leaving a little space between them for even cooking.
7. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally. You’ll know they’re done when they reach an internal temperature of 165°F and have those beautiful grill marks.
8. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. This helps keep all those juicy flavors inside!

As you cook, remember to enjoy the process. Turn up your favorite playlist, and don’t hesitate to dance a little in the kitchen, just like I do!
