1/4 cup pesto sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Salt and black pepper, to taste
Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)


Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine pesto, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

  • Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium heat.

  • Thread the marinated chicken onto the soaked wooden skewers.

  • Serve hot with your favorite side dish or on a salad.
