Ingredients
- Chicken breast, 1 lb
- Dry salami, 4 oz
- Mozzarella cheese balls (small), 12
- Black olive slices, 12
- Wooden skewers, 12
- Olive oil, 2 tbsp
- Italian seasoning, 1 tsp
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes.
- Step 2: Cut the salami into small, roughly 1/2-inch thick rounds.
- Step 3: Thread a mozzarella ball onto each skewer, followed by a piece of chicken, a salami round, and finally a black olive slice (to resemble an eyeball). Repeat until all skewers are assembled.
- Step 4: In a bowl, toss the skewers with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Ensure all sides are coated.
- Step 5: Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
- Step 6: Grill or broil the skewers for approximately 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and slightly browned. Internal temperature of chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
Notes
- Store leftover skewers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat or in a microwave, ensuring the chicken is heated through.
- Serve these spooky skewers as a fun appetizer at your next Halloween party or themed gathering.
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken cubes in a mixture of olive oil, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder for at least 30 minutes before assembling the skewers.
