Instructions
Creating a BBQ Chicken Skewer Salad is simple and rewarding. Follow these easy steps to prepare your dish:
1. Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine chicken cubes, olive oil, BBQ sauce, salt, and pepper. Allow it to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
2. Prepare Skewers: While the chicken marinates, soak wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes to prevent burning on the grill (if using wooden skewers).
3. Skewer Chicken and Vegetables: Thread marinated chicken, bell pepper, and red onion chunks onto the skewers, alternating between items.
4. Preheat Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. If you are using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat on the stove.
5. Grill Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
6. Prepare Salad Base: In a large serving bowl, add mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, and feta cheese.
7. Add Drizzle: Drizzle balsamic vinaigrette over the salad and toss to combine.
8. Assemble: Once the skewers are done, remove them from the grill. Place them on top of the salad.
9. Serve: Drizzle additional BBQ sauce over the skewers for added flavor before serving.
10. Enjoy: Serve immediately and savor the delicious BBQ Chicken Skewer Salad!
