01 - Soak wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes if using wooden ones to prevent burning.

02 - Toss chicken cubes with olive oil, BBQ sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

03 - Thread seasoned chicken, bell peppers, and red onion alternately onto skewers, distributing ingredients evenly.

04 - Heat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot.

05 - Grill skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally and brushing with extra BBQ sauce, until chicken is fully cooked and slightly charred.

06 - While skewers cook, arrange salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, and feta on a large serving platter.

07 - Whisk together extra-virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until emulsified.

08 - Drizzle dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all components.

09 - Remove chicken skewers from grill and arrange on top of dressed salad. Serve immediately while warm.

01 -

The smoky char from the skewers transforms a simple salad into something that feels restaurant special but comes together in under 40 minutes
You get that perfect sweet and tangy BBQ flavor balanced against crisp fresh vegetables and creamy avocado

02 -

Crowding the skewers makes everything steam instead of grill, so leave a tiny bit of breathing room between pieces
Letting the chicken rest for just two minutes after grilling keeps it juicy instead of losing all those delicious juices when you cut into it

03 -

Double the dressing and keep it in a jar in the refrigerator for up to a week
Leftover skewers make incredible wraps the next day, just slice the chicken off the stick
