Ingredients
Chicken Skewers
- 2 pounds chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 cup dill pickle juice
- 1/2 cup Old Home Foods Chive & Onion Chip Dip & Topper
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Pickle and Chive Dipping sauce
- 1 cup Old Home Foods Chive & Onion Chip Dip & Topper
- 2 tablespoons dill pickle juice
- 1/2 cup dill pickles, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Add the chicken pieces to a large bowl with all of the marinade ingredients.
- Cover and let marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour or ideally overnight for the most tender and flavorful chicken.
- If you’re using wooden skewers, place your skewers in a baking dish covered with water.
- Let them soak up to overnight while the chicken marinates. This helps to prevent the skewers from burning and breaking while grilling.
- When you’re ready to grill the chicken, preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- In the meantime, thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers. Pat the chicken dry using paper towel. This will help the chicken get a golden brown crispy exterior.
- Once the grill is hot, grill the skewers for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and no longer pink in the center.
- If you’re using a meat thermometer, the internal temperature should be 165 degrees.
- Transfer the chicken to a clean plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
- If desired, drizzle the chicken with freshly-squeezed lemon juice and garnish with fresh dill and chives. Serve with my pickle and chive dipping sauce!
