BBQ Chicken Skewer Salad
Print Recipe

This recipe brings back memories of summer evenings grilling in the yard, with smoky BBQ chicken and fresh salad from the garden. We’d skewer the chicken, toss a salad, and gather around the table, savoring each bite. It’s simple, satisfying, and perfect when you want something hearty but still light. Make it once, and it just might become your new warm-weather favorite!

Ingredients

For the Skewers:

  • 2 chicken breasts, cut into chunks

  • ½ cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Skewers (wooden or metal)

For the Salad:

  • 4 cups mixed greens

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 1 cucumber, sliced

  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced

  • ½ cup shredded cheddar or feta

  • Optional: ranch or balsamic dressing

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.

  2. In a bowl, toss chicken chunks with olive oil, salt, pepper, and BBQ sauce.

  3. Thread chicken onto skewers. Grill for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked and slightly charred.

  4. In a large bowl, mix salad ingredients.

  5. Top salad with hot chicken skewers and extra BBQ sauce or your favorite dressing. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Soak wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.

  • Add corn, avocado, or black beans for a Southwestern twist.

  • Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for a super quick version!
