Instructions
Creating your BBQ Chicken Skewer Salad involves the following straightforward steps:
1. Prepare Skewers: Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning while grilling.
2. Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine chicken pieces with BBQ sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let marinate for 30 minutes.
3. Assemble Skewers: Thread marinated chicken pieces onto soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
4. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
5. Grill Chicken: Place the chicken skewers on the grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks.
6. Prepare Vegetables: While the chicken is grilling, prepare your salad. In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, and red onion.
7. Add Chicken: Once the chicken skewers are done, remove them from the grill and allow them to cool for a minute. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces if desired, and then add to the vegetable mixture.
8. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the salad for an extra layer of flavor.
9. Dress the Salad: Drizzle your favorite dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
10. Serve: Transfer the salad to a large serving bowl or individual plates, and enjoy immediately!
