# How to Make It:

01 - Soak wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes if using. In a bowl, toss chicken cubes with olive oil, BBQ sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Thread chicken, bell peppers, and red onion alternately onto the skewers.
02 - Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally and brushing with extra BBQ sauce, until chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
03 - While the skewers cook, arrange salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, and feta on a large platter.
04 - Whisk olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper together to make the dressing.
05 - Drizzle dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Remove the chicken skewers from the grill and place on top of the salad. Serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Hot charred skewers meet cool crisp greens for that perfect temperature contrast
  • Everything cooks on the grill so your kitchen stays cool all summer
  • The homemade dressing takes literally thirty seconds and tastes better than anything store bought
02 -
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after grilling so the juices redistribute, otherwise they will all run out onto your salad greens
  • Do not overdress the salad, those greens get soggy fast, and you can always pass extra dressing at the table
  • The skewers are hot when they come off the grill, so give them a moment before placing them directly on the salad
03 -
  • Double the dressing and keep it in the refrigerator for up to a week, it is fantastic on simple green salads too
  • If your wooden skewers still burn through the soaking trick, wrap the exposed ends in small pieces of aluminum foil
