Creating BBQ Chicken Skewer Salad at home is straightforward. Follow these steps for a delicious meal:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine chicken breasts with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Cover and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
3. Skewering: Once the chicken is marinated, cut it into chunks. Thread the chicken pieces onto skewers, alternating with bell pepper, onion, and zucchini.
4. Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for about 10 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks.
5. Assemble the Salad: While the chicken skewer is grilling, arrange mixed greens and cherry tomatoes on a large serving platter or individual bowl.
6. Add the Skewers: Once the chicken is done, carefully remove skewers from the grill and place them over the salad.
7. Garnish and Drizzle: Drizzle BBQ sauce over the skewers and salad. Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro or parsley on top for an added freshness.
8. Serve: Serve the salad immediately while the skewers are warm.
