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

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

1. Add the chicken pieces to a large bowl with all of the marinade ingredients.
2. Cover and let marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour or ideally overnight for the most tender and flavorful chicken.
3. If you’re using wooden skewers, place your skewers in a baking dish covered with water.
4. Let them soak up to overnight while the chicken marinates. This helps to prevent the skewers from burning and breaking while grilling.
5. When you’re ready to grill the chicken, preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. If you’re using a meat thermometer, the internal temperature should be 165 degrees.
9. Transfer the chicken to a clean plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
10. 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!
