Rosemary Ranch Chicken Kabobs
September 17, 2011 in chicken
It’s been really cold in my neck of the woods lately. Like really cold. So cold that I went out and bought boots. And I don’t wear boots! There’s even snow on our mountains! Proof:
I think the thing I’m most sad about when it comes to the cold weather is the fact that we’re quickly running out of time to use the grill. Which means I’ll have to resume all of the cooking. Bleh. So how about one more grill recipe? It’s a good one, I promise!
I bookmarked this recipe without really reading it so when I saw that it actually used bottled ranch dressing, I was pretty grossed out. That just doesn’t sound good at all! How wrong I was. This is seriously the best chicken I’ve had all summer! You can’t really pick out the ranch taste but all the herbs and spices in it makes the chicken so flavorful and delicious. This is one I’m definitely going to remember for next summer and every summer after.

Ingredients
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, stir together the olive oil, ranch dressing, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, salt, lemon juice, white vinegar, pepper, and sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes. Place chicken in the bowl, and stir to coat with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the grill for medium-high heat. Thread chicken onto skewers and discard marinade.
- Lightly oil the grill grate. Grill skewers for 8 to 12 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear.
Sounds and looks great! Really almost any chicken recipe will make me happy. :) Oh and as for the grill – it can totally still be done in the winter! We grill year round (or rather hubs does).
I’m sad to see grilling season go too. It doesn’t really make a difference in how much I will have to cook though; I do all the grilling and indoor cooking!
Bottled ranch dressing is a huge guilty pleasure for me…I’ve tried to make homemade but it just can’t beat Hidden Valley for me, haha. This looks great, and I bet the ranch dressing kept it really moist!
Brrr! Looks like yummy chicken. Can you believe that we still don’t own a grill? I keep wanting to get one based on the fact that my husbnd will be excited to cook. ;)
You definitely need to get one! We got ours around Father’s Day when everyone was doing the grill sales and ended up saving 50 bucks or so.
Those are some mighty tasty looking chunks of grilled chicken! I’ll bet the Ranch dressing is great on that.
When we move and get our own place I can’t wait to make fun grilling recipes!
Just wanted to say hi and that I had your blog for the SRC this month. Just posted a version of your white chocolate fudge on my site.
Thanks for the inspiration and you have SO many amazing desserts. I mean…woman….I am impressed. At one point I had about 17 links of yours open trying to decide. Seriously…amazing!
I made these so many times this summer, and my entire family LOVES them. They’re so flavorful! And I am so jealous that you get to see mountains that beautiful on a daily basis. Gorgeous!
