Pesto Chicken Kabobs

Pesto Chicken Kabobs are one of the easiest meals you can make, it’s incredibly flavorful and also healthy. To make the process super quick, in this recipe I used store-bought pesto, no harm to take shortcuts if it makes your life easier.

You can also make your own pesto, it takes only a few minutes, so it’s up to you to decide. The chicken is marinated overnight in pesto, after that added to skewers with cherry tomatoes and roasted to golden perfection in the oven. I like to add fresh mozzarella cheese right before serving these and drizzle them with extra pesto. Serve over an arugula salad and you have an amazing meal in almost no time!
