Instructions
Creating BBQ Chicken Skewer Salad can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix olive oil, BBQ sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
3. Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken marinates, chop the bell peppers, onion, and cucumber, and halve the cherry tomatoes.
4. Skewer the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, alternating with pieces of bell pepper and onion.
5. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat.
6. Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
7. Prepare the Salad Base: In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and cilantro if using.
8. Add the Skewers: Once the chicken skewers are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them cool for a few minutes. Then, place them on top of the salad.
9. Drizzle with BBQ Sauce: For added flavor, drizzle extra BBQ sauce over the skewers and salad.
10. Serve: If desired, sprinkle feta cheese on top before serving.
