Ingredients

– 1 lb boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
– 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
– 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
– 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes
– 2 cups mixed salad greens (arugula, spinach, or romaine)

Instructions

Making BBQ Chicken Skewer Salad is a delightful experience. Follow these steps for a successful dish:

1. Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine chicken pieces with BBQ sauce. Ensure all pieces are well coated. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes for maximum flavor.
2. Prepare Vegetables: While the chicken marinates, chop the bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes. Set aside.
3. Soak Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
4. Assemble Skewers: Thread marinated chicken, bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers, alternating ingredients for variety.
5. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill grates to prevent sticking.
6. Grill Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks.
7. Mix Dressing: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Whisk until blended.
8. Prepare Salad Base: In a large serving bowl, add the mixed salad greens.
9. Add Grilled Ingredients: Once the skewers are done, carefully remove the chicken and vegetables, and place them over the salad greens.
10. Drizzle Dressing: Pour your prepared dressing over the salad, tossing gently to combine everything evenly.
11. Serve: Remove skewers before serving, or leave them in for presentation. Enjoy your BBQ Chicken Skewer Salad immediately!
