Grilled Pesto Chicken and Cherry Tomato Kabobs

Prep Time30 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time45 minutes
Author: Taylor Ellingson

Ingredients

  • ½ cup pesto homemade or store-bought
  • 1 ¼ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1” pieces
  • ~20 cherry tomatoes

Instructions

  • Directions:
  • Combine ¼ cup of the pesto with the chicken breasts in a large bowl, and stir well to combine. Let marinate for 20 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Once marinated, thread the chicken onto skewers, alternating with cherry tomatoes. The number of skewers that this will make will depend on how long your skewers are.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  • Place skewers on the preheated grill and cook for approximately 12-15 minutes, until chicken is cooked through, and turning 2-3 times throughout.
  • Brush skewers with remaining ¼ cup of pesto.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

If you use wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for about 30 minutes before using them so they don’t burn. I like to use metal skewers because they don’t require any soaking time prior to cooking.
