Ingredients
1.5 lbs chicken breasts (skinless, boneless), cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup red onion (peeled and sliced)
2 cups bell peppers (red and green, halved for color contrast; yellow/orange can substitute one type)
2 tbsp olive oil (for marinating and grilling)
4 tbsp ranch seasoning mix (check for pork additives)
3 cloves garlic (minced) or 1 tsp garlic powder if fresh is unavailable
Instructions
Mix olive oil, ranch seasoning, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a bowl for marinade.
Add chicken cubes to the marinade and refrigerate for 15–30 minutes.
Thread chicken, red onion, and bell peppers onto skewers, alternating for even cooking.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates.
Grill skewers for 12–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and charred slightly.
Notes
Ensure ranch seasoning is free from pork or anchovies. Use avocado oil as a substitute for olive oil if preferred.
Replace red onion with shallots for a sweeter flavor profile.
Serve with a side of grilled bread or lemon wedges for soaking up the flavors. Store leftover marinade in the fridge for up to 3 days.
