| Grilled Pesto Chicken and Tomato Kebabs just SCREAM summer, made with chunks of boneless chicken breasts, skinny basil pesto and grape tomatoes. Serve this as an appetizer at your next backyard bash, or have them for dinner any night of the week with a great big salad or over pasta. Ingredients | |
| 1 cup | fresh basil leaves, (chopped) |
| 1 clove | garlic |
| 1/4 cup | grated Parmigiano Reggiano |
| kosher salt | |
| fresh pepper to taste | |
| 3 tbsp | olive oil |
| 1-1/4 lbs | skinless chicken breast, (cut into 1-inch cubes) |
| 24 | cherry tomatoes |
16 wooden skewers
Instructions
In a food processor pulse basil, garlic, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper until smooth. Slowly add the olive oil while pulsing.
Combine the raw chicken with pesto and marinate a few hours in a bowl.
Soak wooden skewers in water at least 30 minutes (or use metal ones to avoid this step).
Beginning and ending with chicken, thread chicken and tomatoes onto 8 pairs of parallel skewers to make 8 kebabs total.
Heat the outdoor grill or indoor grill pan over medium heat until hot. Be sure the grates are clean and spray lightly with oil.
Place the chicken on the hot grill and cook about 3-4 minutes; turn and continue cooking until chicken is cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes.
