So delicious! It's not grilling season, so I just sliced the ck breasts thin and cooked them in a skillet. The dipping sauce was a huge hit with Randy.

Ingredients
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing the grill grates

Zest of 1 lemon plus 2 tablespoons juice

2 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 cup (or more) Pesto sauce

1 large ripe avocado


Directions


Whisk together 1 tablespoon of the oil and the lemon zest in a large bowl. Add the chicken to the oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Divide the chicken and thread onto metal or bamboo skewers.
Grill the chicken, turning often, until just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve the chicken dolloped with the pesto and any extra pesto on the side.
