These Chicken Fajita Kebabs with Cilantro Pesto are bursting with flavor and perfect for grilling season. The marinated chicken, bell peppers, and onions cook to juicy perfection on skewers, while the vibrant cilantro pesto adds a fresh and zesty finish.
Ingredients: 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks. 2 bell peppers, sliced into chunks. 1 onion, sliced into chunks. 1/4 cup olive oil. 2 tablespoons lime juice. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 teaspoon chili powder. 1 teaspoon cumin. Salt and pepper to taste. 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves. 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. 1/4 cup pine nuts. 1/4 cup olive oil. 1 clove garlic, minced. Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add chicken chunks to the bowl and toss to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Thread marinated chicken, bell peppers, and onion onto skewers. Grill kebabs for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender. While kebabs are grilling, make the cilantro pesto. In a food processor, combine cilantro leaves, Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth. Serve grilled chicken fajita kebabs with cilantro pesto drizzled on top.
