Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 tbsp pesto sauce, store-bought or homemade
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 6 –8 10-inch wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the pesto, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the chicken pieces to the bowl, toss to coat, cover, and marinate for at least 1 hour (overnight for best flavor).
- Soak wooden skewers in cold water for 15 minutes if using. This prevents burning on the grill.
- Thread marinated chicken onto skewers and discard any excess marinade.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the kebabs for 8–10 minutes per side, turning once until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
