How to Make Rosemary Ranch Chicken Kabobs Step by Step

1. Cube 5 skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces and set aside.
2. In a small bowl, mix together 0.5 cup olive oil, 0.5 cup ranch dressing, 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon minced rosemary, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon vinegar, and 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper.
3. Mix in the chicken cubes until evenly coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
4. Soak 10 (6-inch) wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
5. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, alternating with small cherry tomatoes or red onion slices if desired.
6. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the kabobs for about 8-10 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred.

Tips, Substitutions & Variations

• If you don't have rosemary, try using thyme instead for a similar flavor profile.
• For a vegan version, substitute the ranch dressing with a vegan alternative and use a plant-based marinade.
• Increase the protein by adding grilled bell peppers or zucchini to your kabobs.
