Recipe type: main course
Serves: 8
INGREDIENTS
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
1 clove garlic
¼ 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.
