Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Pesto Chicken Skewers.
Step 1
In a glass bowl, combine vegetable oil, cooking sherry, prepared pesto, lemon juice, salt, and pepper, whisking until the mixture is harmonious.
Step 2
Immerse the chicken pieces in the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated.
Step 3
Cover the bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours, or overnight for an explosion of flavor.
Step 4
As you prepare for grilling, preheat your outdoor grill to a medium-high setting and lightly oil the grate to keep your kabobs from sticking.

Step 6
Don’t forget to set aside any leftover marinade for basting.
Step 7
Once your grill is ready, place the kabobs on the grate.
Step 8
Grill for 10 to 15 minutes, turning them occasionally and brushing with the reserved marinade, until the chicken is perfectly cooked and the juices run clear.
Step 9
Enjoy the delightful aroma and the colorful presentation as you serve these delicious kabobs, perfect for any gathering or a cozy dinner at home.
