Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Pesto Chicken Kabobs.
Step 1
To start your delicious chicken skewers, grab a large resealable plastic bag and toss in the chicken pieces, pesto, and fresh lemon juice.
Step 2
Seal the bag tightly and give it a gentle shake to ensure every piece of chicken is beautifully coated in that vibrant pesto mixture.
Step 3
Now, let the flavors mingle by refrigerating the bag for a full 24 hoursâthis step is key for tender, flavorful chicken.
Step 4
When you're ready to cook, take the marinated chicken out of the fridge and thread the pieces onto soaked skewers, alternating with juicy cherry tomatoes and colorful chunks of red onion.
Step 5
This not only adds flavor but also makes for a stunning presentation.
Step 6
Donât forget to sprinkle a little salt and pepper over the skewers to enhance the taste.
Step 7
Next, preheat your Panasonic Countertop Induction Oven to Medium-High on the 'Grill' setting.
Step 8
Once itâs hot and ready, place your skewers in the grill pan and set the timer for 3 minutes.
Step 9
After that, flip the skewers over and grill for another 3 to 4 minutes, keeping an eye on them until the chicken is fully cooked.
Step 10
Youâll know itâs done when the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 11
When the skewers are perfectly grilled, take them out and let them rest for about 5 minutes.
Step 12
This resting time allows the juices to redistribute, making each bite even more succulent.
Step 13
Now, youâre ready to serve these mouthwatering skewersâenjoy the burst of flavors and the satisfaction of a meal well made!.
