Ingredients
2
boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1 inch pieces
2
tbsp
pesto sauce
1/4
cup
olive oil
1/2
tsp
garlic powder
juice from 1/2 lemon
1
tsp
salt
1/2
tsp
black pepper
6-8 10
inch
wooden skewers
Instructions
In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper and pesto.
Add chicken. Cover with plastic wrap and let it marinate for 1 hour. (Refrigerate if you have to leave meat to marinate for longer than 1 hour).
Soak wooden skewers in cold water for 15 minutes before you put the meat on them.
Thread meat on skewers and discard remaining marinade.
Preheat grill to medium-high temperature. I use a gas grill.
Grill until chicken is cooked through, about 8-10 minutes per side, turning once.
Notes
3-4 small skewers equal one serving.
