Ingredients

  • 16 ounces Fresh Mozzarella Slices 16 slices. I buy the 16 ounce packs that are pre-sliced.
  • 1.5 pounds Chicken Breast Cooked and Cubed. I suggest buying pre-cooked chicken cubes or strips for this recipe.
  • 32 Basil Leaves
  • 64 Grape Tomatoes

Instructions

  • If the Fresh Mozzarella is not sliced, then cut it into 16 slices and then cut those slices into quarters. You should have 64 pieces when you’re done. Set them aside for your assembly line.

  • Cut the cooked chicken into cubes that are roughly 1” by 1.5”. I buy the pre-cooked chicken slices and then cut those into the cube sizes that I need. Set them aside for your assembly line.

Repeat this process with the remaining skewers and ingredients. (Option B) Alternatively, for 64 small skewers or toothpicks, place your ingredients on a toothpick as follows: 1 chicken cube, 1 piece of fresh mozzarella, 1 basil leaf (if large, folded in half), and 1 grape tomato.
