Chicken Caesar Kebabs

Chicken Caesar Kebabs

These chicken kebabs were featured in my Summer C1 Challenge and they were a huge hit inside of my private Facebook group where we have fun with recipe swaps year round! This is a healthier version of the normally higher-fat caesar salad and is a perfect dinner for all cycles of the 17 Day Diet year round. Enjoy!

Chicken Caesar Kebabs

Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1 1/2 inch chunks

2 whole romaine hearts, cut into 1 to 1 1/2 inch pieces or 4 whole romaine hearts cut in half (depending on preference)

20 grape tomatoes

2 garlic cloves, minced

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

1 teaspoons anchovy paste (optional)

2 Tablespoons plain Greek yogurt

2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

2 Tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

If using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Thread the chicken chunks on to skewers. Place skewers into a shallow baking dish that they can lay flat.

On separate skewers, thread the lettuce pieces alternating with grape tomatoes. Place into another shallow baking dish that they can lay flat.

In a medium bowl, whisk together garlic through anchovy paste. Whisk in yogurt and olive oil.

Pour one-third of the dressing onto the chicken. Rotate the skewers to cover all the chicken to fully coat.

Pour one-third of the dressing over the lettuce skewers. Rotate the skewers to cover all the lettuce and tomatoes.

Cover both dishes and refrigerate for an hour to allow marinating.

Heat a grill or pan to medium high heat. Either coat grill with oil or heat oil in pan.

Place the chicken onto the grill or pan and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until chicken is 165 degrees. Allow to rest once done.

Put lettuce and tomato skewers onto the grill or pan. Cook for about a minute on each side. You just want the lettuce slightly charred.

When you’re ready to serve, drizzle remaining dressing over skewers.

Yields 4 Servings

Approved for all cycles
