Ingredients
For the chicken
- ten - 5 inch skewers (or 5 longer skewers), if wooden skewers, soak in water before using
- 2 lbs (900 grams) chicken breasts, frozen, and cut into thin slices using a knife while frozen
For the chicken marinade
- 1 tbsp Better than Bouillon Chicken Base
- ⅓ cup buffalo sauce
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ tsp ground pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
For the blue cheese butter sauce
- 1 (½ cup) stick butter
- ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- kosher salt and ground pepper to taste
- 3 tbsp fresh minced parsley
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: Add all of the chicken marinade ingredients to a medium bowl and whisk together to combine. Add all of the frozen, knife sliced chicken breast pieces to the marinade, toss to fully coat and let sit for 15-30 minutes or until the chicken has thawed.
- Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, dividing evenly between the skewers.
- Heat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400F.
- Oil the grill well and when heated, place the skewers on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes or until cooked through (internal temperature reached 165F) and well browned.
- Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
- While the chicken rests, melt the butter with the crumbled blue cheese in a saucepan on the oven on medium-low heat. Once melted, stir in the lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper (pinch of each to start). Let cool for a few minutes and then stir in the parsley. Immediately brush all the skewers with the blue cheese butter sauce.
