Recipe Instructions

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.

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

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).
