Need some new grilling inspiration? Try these simple and flavorful chicken pesto kebobs!
Well, hello! It’s been a little while. Last time you were here, you were probably checking out my Peach Walnut Crisp recipe. (<– If you need a delicious summer dessert, check it out!)
Last week I was vacationing in North Carolina with my family. It was so refreshing to take a break and truly relax for a week. I needed it. It was a very special vacation as we were celebrating my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary. It was awesome to spend time with my mom’s whole side of the family. We rented a big house in Corolla. If you follow me on instagram, I posted some fun photos from our vacation. I enjoyed my first ever low country boil by the Outer Banks Boil Company. Oh boy, it was delicious.

Vacation this past week was the kick off of the summer for me! One of my favorite parts of summer; obviously the seasonal food! It’s the time of year where the oven is barely turned on because most if my cooking is done on the grill.
Grilling is a healthy cooking method to prepare your food. It requires minimal added fats and imparts a smoky flavor while keeping meats and veggies juicy and tender.
If you cheated a little like me (and used prepared pesto) this recipe only has 4 ingredients and can be whipped up for a delicious dinner in no time!
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 zucchini
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch cubes
- 1 cup pre-made pesto
- salt and pepper, to taste
- In a large resealable bag, combine chicken and ¾ cup pesto; marinate for 1 hour.
- Using a mandolin (or carefully cut with a knife), slice zucchini lengthwise.
- Drain the chicken from pesto. Thread the cherry tomatoes, zucchini in a ribbon like pattern, then chicken. Repeat until skewer is filled.
- Preheat grill to medium high heat. Add kebobs to grill, cook gently turning half way through for about 10-12 minutes or until internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Serve immediately.
