Chicken Fajita Kebabs with Cilantro Pesto
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 1/4 lbs chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 32 cherry tomatoes
- 1 red onion, cut into large pieces
- 3 peppers, cut into large pieces (green, yellow, and orange)
- 8 to 16 wooden skewers
Instructions
1. In a food processor, pulse cilantro, garlic, salt, pepper, and
parmesan cheese until smooth. Add in the olive oil one teaspoon at a time
until fully combined.
2. Put the pesto into a large ziplock bag along with the
chicken cubes. Seal and refrigerate for at least an hour to marinate.
3. While marinating, soak the wooden skewers in water for at
least 30 minutes (or use metal skewers).
4. Assemble the skewers by placing a cherry tomato on the stick,
followed by chicken, onion, and pepper. Repeat to the end of the skewer.
5. Spray your grill with nonstick spray.
6. 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.
7. Serve with lime, on their own, or with rice. Enjoy!
