Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, cubed
- 1 cup cheddar cheese cubes
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup cucumber slices, halved
- 1/2 cup black olives, pitted
- 1/2 cup ranch or Italian dressing (optional, for dipping)
- 12 wooden skewers or toothpicks
Instructions
- Prepare Skewers: Take a wooden skewer or toothpick and thread on a piece of cubed cooked chicken breast, followed by a cheddar cheese cube, a cherry tomato, a cucumber slice, and a black olive. Depending on the length of the skewer, repeat the pattern if space permits to maximize the number of ingredients on each kabob.
- Assemble Kabobs: Continue threading the ingredients onto all skewers until all the chicken, cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, and olives have been used. This ensures an even distribution of flavors in each kabob.
- Chill Kabobs: Arrange the completed kabobs neatly on a platter. Cover the platter loosely with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate the kabobs until you are ready to serve. This keeps them fresh and cool for optimal taste.
- Serve: Serve the cold chicken-cheese kabobs chilled alongside ranch or Italian dressing for dipping, if desired. They make a colorful and tasty appetizer or snack perfect for gatherings or lunchboxes.
Notes
- These kabobs can be prepared up to a day in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator to save time on serving day.
- For variety, try substituting mozzarella balls in place of cheddar cheese or turkey cubes instead of chicken.
- Bell pepper slices are a refreshing alternative to cucumbers for added crunch and color.
