Ingredients

– 2 chicken breasts, cut into cubes

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!
