Provided by Catalina Castravet

Categories     Main Course

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1⅔ cup pesto (homemade or store-bought)
4 chicken breasts (boneless and skinless, cut into 1½ inch cubes)
2 pints cherry tomatoes
1 tablespoon garlic powder
Kosher salt and ground black pepper (to taste)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley leaves (chopped)
14 Large mozzarella pearls

Steps:

  • Season chicken with salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon of garlic powder. Add chicken and 1½ cup of pesto to a large Ziplock bag (or bowl) and marinate for at least 30 minutes or for best results marinate overnight. If marinating overnight, turn the bag occasionally so all the chicken is covered in pesto sauce evenly.
  • Preheat oven to 425F.
  • Thread chicken and cherry tomatoes onto skewers, season with salt and pepper to taste and place on a baking sheet pan drizzled with olive oil or covered with parchment paper.
  • Turn kabobs once mid cooking. Cook for about 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is golden brown and it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
  • Remove from oven and if desired garnish with fresh parsley and add large pearl buffalo mozzarella to the skewers.
  • Drizzle with the remaining ¼ cup of pesto sauce and serve.
  • Enjoy!

GRILLED PESTO CHICKEN KABOBS



Grilled Pesto Chicken Kabobs image

Pesto can sometimes be overpowering, but not in this recipe! Using it in a marinade adds the wonderful flavors of basil and garlic, without taking away from the natural flavors of the chicken and vegetables.
