Print Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves chopped
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
- Sea Salt and Fresh Ground Pepper to taste
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1-1/4 lbs chicken breast cut into 1-inch cubes
- 32 cherry tomatoes
- 1 red onion cute into large pieces
- 3 peppers cut into large pieces (I used one green, one yellow, and one orange)
- 8 wooden skewers
- 16 wooden skewers
Instructions
- In a food processor, pulse cilantro, garlic, salt, pepper, garlic, and parmesan cheese until smooth. Add in the olive oil one teaspoon at a time until fully combined.
- Put the pesto into a large ziplock bag along with the chicken cubes. Seal and refrigerate for at least an hour to marinate.
- While marinating, soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes (or use metal skewers)
- Assemble the skewers by placing a cherry tomato on the stick, followed by chicken, onion, and pepper. Repeat to the end of the skewer.
- Spray your grill with nonstick spray
- Add the skewers to the grill and cook for 16-20 minutes, turning once around 7 or 8 minutes. Check frequently, depending on the thickness of the chicken and temperature of the grill, the chicken could cook much faster.
- Serve with lime, on their own, or with rice.
- Enjoy!
