Method
 

  1. Cut the chicken into 1-inch chunks. Pat dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper. Thread chicken and any vegetables onto soaked skewers.
    Raw chicken chunks seasoned with salt and pepper on a rustic dark plate, with wooden skewers and natural kitchen tools in the background, ready for homemade ranch garlic parmesan chicken skewers.
  2. In a bowl, whisk olive oil and ranch seasoning. Let sit 5 minutes. Stir in garlic powder, Parmesan, and optional spices until a thick paste forms.

  3. Brush the paste mixture all over the skewers, covering each piece. Let sit for 10 minutes. Optionally, apply a second light coat before cooking.

  4. Grill, bake, or air fry the skewers until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Turn or shake halfway through and baste with extra coating if desired.
