Let’s face it, boneless, skinless chicken breast can sometimes be bland. These skewers get a major flavor boost from wrapping the chicken in thin slices of prosciutto.

Ingredients

Vegetable oil, for the grill

2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 24 pieces (about 1 1/2 inches each)

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon white or red wine vinegar

1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary

1 clove garlic, grated

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Pinch of kosher salt

4 ounces Fontina cheese, cut into 24 cubes (about 1/2 inch each)

24 thin slices prosciutto (about 6 ounces)

1 pint grape tomatoes

Directions

  1. Preheat a grill to medium high and brush the grates with vegetable oil. Toss the chicken with the olive oil, vinegar, rosemary, garlic, red pepper flakes and salt in a large bowl. Place a cheese cube on a piece of chicken and wrap tightly with a slice of prosciutto. Repeat with the remaining cheese, chicken and prosciutto.
  2. Thread the chicken bundles onto eight 10-inch skewers along with the tomatoes. Grill the kebabs, covered, turning occasionally, until the prosciutto is crisp and the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.

It’s a delicious bite! Cut chicken into about 1 inch pieces and cut small cubes of cheese for easier prep. I pounded the chicken a bit before cutting into pieces. Skewer through the cheese! I used Gouda instead of Fontina, and I marinated the chicken for a few hours before grilling.
