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.
