Ingredients for Blackened Chicken Skewers

Method

Directions for Blackened Chicken Skewers

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and place them in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Make the Spice Mixture

    In a separate bowl, mix together paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Chicken

    Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken cubes, then sprinkle the spice mixture on top. Toss to coat the chicken evenly and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Skewer the Chicken

    Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers, packing them tightly but not squished together.

  5. 5

    Cook the Skewers

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the skewers from the grill and serve hot with bistro sauce on the side for dipping.
