Dinner on the table in under 30 minutes! Juicy chicken, charred to perfection. Kid approved and Mom approved!
Ingredients
Chicken Skewers
- 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Wooden or metal skewers if using wooden, soak in water for 30 minutes
Optional Veggies (for threading onto skewers)
- 1 bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 red onion cut into 1-inch pieces
- Cherry tomatoes
Instructions
- Preheat your broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
- In a medium bowl, toss the chicken cubes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Thread the seasoned chicken onto the skewers. If using, add pieces of bell pepper, onion, or cherry tomatoes between the chicken pieces.
- Arrange the skewers on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
- Place the baking sheet under the broiler, about 4-6 inches from the heat source. Broil for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and nicely charred. Watch closely to prevent burning!
- Carefully remove skewers from the oven. Let rest for a minute before serving.
Notes
Mom Hack: Use pre cut chicken strips or cubes to save even more time! Serve with your favorite dipping sauce like ranch or BBQ. Storage: Let leftovers cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
