Ingredients

  • 4 large chicken breasts
  • 6.7 oz jar of pesto
  • 8 oz mascarpone
  • 1 lemon
  • fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Soak the skewers for at least 3 hours. Toward the end of soaking prepare the ingredients and heat the grill.

  2. Slice the chicken into thin strips and thread them onto the soaked skewers.

  3. Divide the jar of pesto in half. You will need half to brush onto the chicken. The other half will be used in the dipping sauce.

  4. Grill the chicken skewers for 2 minutes on each side before brushing the pesto over the top, and then continue grilled for another few minutes on each side.

  5. Over medium heat in a small saucepan heat the mascarpone, remaining pesto, and the juice from half a lemon, stirring continuously until heated through and combined. Pour the sauce into individual dishes.
