Pesto Chicken Kabobs

Pesto Chicken Kabobs

Delicious, moist and flavorful. I prefer using homemade pesto, but store-bought will do if necessary. This is sure to become a family favorite! Serve with lemon wedges. This recipe was made in a Panasonic CIO.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup pesto
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 12 cherry tomatoes
  • 12 red onion chunks
  • 6 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 20 minutes
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1
Combine chicken pieces, pesto, and lemon juice in a gallon-size resealable plastic bag; seal bag and toss to coat evenly. Marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.

Step 2
Thread chicken, tomatoes, and onion alternately onto skewers. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3
Preheat Panasonic Countertop Induction Oven to Medium-High on the "Grill" setting.

Step 4
Place the skewers into the grill pan and set the timer for 3 minutes.

Step 5
Turn skewers and cook another 3 to 4 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 6
Allow to rest for about 5 minutes.

Cook’s Notes:

Feel free to substitute other veggies for the tomatoes and red onion, but those are our favorites.
