Creating BBQ Chicken Skewer Salad is easy if you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks.
2. Marinate: In a bowl, mix the chicken with half of the BBQ sauce, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Preheat the Grill: Aim for medium-high heat.
4. Skewer the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, ensuring even spacing.
5. Grill the Chicken: Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

7. Add the Remaining BBQ Sauce: Drizzle the remaining BBQ sauce over the salad mixture and toss well to combine.
8. Assemble: Once the chicken skewers are ready, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
9. Serve: Place the salad on a serving platter and top with the BBQ chicken skewers.
