Hot Honey Dill Chicken Skewers with Southwest Salad

Serves: 4-5

Prep time: 30 minutes

Cook time: 12-15 minutes

Hot Honey Dill Chicken Skewers

• 4-5 boneless chicken breasts

• 3 tablespoons cup honey, warmed

• 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce

• 1-2 tablespoons hot sauce

• 1 teaspoons cayenne pepper

• ½ teaspoon seasoning salt

• 2 tablespoons fresh dill

Honey Dill Southwest Salad

• 1 head iceberg lettuce

• ½ can black beans, drained and rinsed

• 2-3 cobs of corn

• 1 bell pepper, diced

• 1 cup diced cucumber

• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream

• 1-2 tablespoons honey (to your preferred sweetness)

• 2 tablespoons fresh dill

• ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

• 1 tablespoon white vinegar

• ½ teaspoon salt

• black pepper

• 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce (optional)

Directions

1. Dice the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place in a medium bowl. In the bowl, add the rest of the ingredients and toss to coat the chicken. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Place the skewers in water and let soak for 10-30 minutes before cooking to prevent scorching.

2. Bring your barbecue/grill to medium-high heat. Take each piece of chicken and thread on the skewers.

3. Coat the corn cobs with a little bit of butter or oil, then lightly coat in salt or seasoning salt.

4. Place the skewers and corn cobs on the barbecue and cook for 4-5 per side. If you have any marinade remaining, feel free to brush when flipping halfway through.

5. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add the lettuce, black beans, and peppers. When the corn is seared, run a knife down the cobs to cut off the kernels and add to the salad.

6. In a small bowl, add the rest of the ingredients and whisk together. Then, add to the salad, saving a couple tablespoons for drizzling the skewers and toss to coat.

7. Enjoy the salad with the chicken skewers and a little drizzle of extra dressing!
