– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1/4 cup BBQ sauce (plus extra for serving)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 red bell pepper, chopped

Instructions

Creating BBQ Chicken Skewer Salad is straightforward. Follow these steps for a delicious result:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts with BBQ sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes.

2. Prepare the Skewers: While the chicken is marinating, soak wooden skewers in water to prevent burning. If using metal skewers, you can skip this step.

3. Skewer the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers. You can alternate with pieces of red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red onion for added flavor and color.

4. Grill the Skewers: Preheat your grill over medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

5. Prepare the Salad Base: While the chicken is grilling, prepare the salad base by combining mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and chopped cilantro in a large bowl.

6. Slice the Chicken: Once the chicken is grilled, remove it from the skewers and slice it into bite-sized pieces.

7. Assemble the Salad: Add the grilled chicken to the salad bowl. Drizzle with additional BBQ sauce and lime juice, tossing gently to combine.

8. Serve Immediately: Plate the salad and serve it fresh. You can add extra BBQ sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling.
