Ingredients
- •Chicken Breast, Boneless Skinless(900g)
Boneless skinless. Buy in bulk and freeze — Costco rotisserie packs work too.
- •Unsalted Butter(15g)
Regular (not extra-virgin) olive oil for high-heat cooking. EVOO for dressings.
- •1 teaspoon kosher salt
- •1/2 teaspoon freshly-cracked black pepper
- •Garlic powder(3g)
- •Paprika, Smoked(3g)
- •optional: fresh lemon wedges
Instructions
- 1Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and pat dry with paper towels. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 minutes.
- 2In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder and smoked paprika. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken cubes and toss until fully coated.
- 3Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. While heating, thread the seasoned chicken cubes evenly onto the skewers, leaving slight gaps between pieces for even cooking.
- 4Once the skillet is hot, place the kabobs in a single layer over medium-high heat. Cook for 10–14 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown on all sides and the internal temperature reaches 165°F with no pink remaining inside.
- 5Transfer the cooked kabobs to a clean plate and loosely tent with aluminum foil. Let rest for 5 minutes to retain juices.
- 6While the chicken rests, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat, about 1–2 minutes, until just warmed through.
- 7Drizzle the warm butter over the rested kabobs. Divide evenly into 4 airtight containers while still warm, or serve immediately.
- 8Store refrigerated for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
