Ingredients

• ▢ 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• ▢ 1 zucchini
• ▢ 1 yellow squash
• ▢ ½ cup pesto
• ▢ Salt & Pepper

Instructions

 

• Cut the chicken, zucchini, & yellow squash into ½-inch to 1-inch cubes/pieces. Put into a large bowl. (I did the chicken smaller & the zucchini/squash bigger because the chicken takes longer to cook than the veggies & you don’t want to over-cook the zucchini/squash.)
• Season with salt & pepper & add the pesto. Toss to coat all the chicken & vegetables in the pesto sauce.
• Skewer chicken & vegetables onto pre-soaked bamboo/wooden skewers leaving a tiny gap between each piece for more even cooking.
• Grill on medium heat for 4-5 minutes each side; turning once. Cook until chicken is no longer pink.
