Pesto Chicken Skewers

Share

Yield: 2 servings

This is one of the easiest keto recipes for entertaining and summer grilling, but it is so tasty and satiating that I often make it in the winter, too. This is a super-keto recipe, with the MCT oil generating fat-burning ketones and providing all-day fuel. The chicken is cooked on skewers; you can use metal or bamboo. If you use bamboo skewers, you will need to soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to making the recipe.

Ingredients:

8 ounces (225 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 batch Pesto

Directions:

• If baking the chicken skewers, preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). If grilling the skewers, preheat a grill to medium heat.
• Cut the chicken into cubes. Place the pesto in a mixing bowl. Add the cubed chicken to the bowl and mix until all the pieces are well coated.
• Slide the coated chicken breast cubes evenly onto 4 skewers.
• If grilling the chicken, grill for 6 to 7 minutes, until the chicken lifts off the grill easily. Flip and grill for another 6 to 7 minutes, until white all the way through. If baking the chicken, bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown and white in the center.
