Delicious, moist and flavorful. I prefer using homemade pesto, but store-bought will do if necessary. This is sure to become a family favorite! Serve with lemon wedges. This recipe was made in a Panasonic CIO.

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup pesto
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
12 cherry tomatoes
12 red onion chunks
6 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 20 minutes

Place the skewers into the grill pan and set the timer for 3 minutes.

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch dice
2 small eggplants, cut into 1-inch dice
15 baby red and yellow bell peppers
Zest of 2 oranges
Extra-virgin olive oil, as needed
Salt and pepper
Red pepper flakes, for sprinkling
