Pesto and Chicken and Tomato Skewers

So I have been off for a little while working on prepping for my fantasy football drafts. I am now back and have a lot of recipes to post. I love pesto but there is always sooooo much oil. Gina at Skinny Taste has come up with a healthier pesto and marinated chicken in it. These skewers are amazing and unlike many pestos that are overrun by oil and garlic this one is perfectly balanced and it clings to the chicken and when grilled the flavor is infused into the chicken.

Ingredients

1 c Fresh Basil Leaves

1 Clove Garlic

1/4 c Grated Parmesan

Kosher Salt and Fresh Ground Pepper

3 T Olive Oil

1-1/4 lbs Skinless Chicken Breasts, cut into 1-Inch Cubes

24 Cherry Tomatoes

1 Small Red Onion, Sliced into Wedges

16 Wooden Skewers

Directions

1. Blend the Basil, Garlic, Parmesan, Salt, and Pepper in a Food processor. While pulsing the food processor slowly add the garlic.

Greek Grilled Chicken

I love grilling and when I saw this recipe on Laaloosh I knew I had to make it! The marindae alone would make for a great chicken dish but combine it with the topping of tomatos, feta, kalamata olives and fresh mint and this is an outstanding dish. At only 5 points plus per serving, the flavors are a perfect blend and the mint give it a very fresh taste!
