Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Cheese

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, cubed
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, cubed

Vegetables and Extras

  • 1 cup grape tomatoes
  • 1 cup cucumber slices or chunks
  • 1/2 cup green or black olives (optional)

For Serving

  • 1/2 cup ranch or Italian dressing (for serving or dipping)
  • 16 small wooden skewers or toothpicks


Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Cube the cooked chicken breast and cheddar cheese into bite-sized pieces. Slice cucumber into chunks or slices if not already done.
  2. Assemble Kabobs: Thread the chicken, cheese cubes, grape tomatoes, cucumber pieces, and olives (if using) onto small wooden skewers or toothpicks, alternating ingredients to create a colorful pattern.
  3. Chill Kabobs: Arrange the assembled kabobs on a serving platter, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill and allow flavors to meld.
  4. Serve: Serve the cold kabobs with ranch or Italian dressing on the side for dipping. Enjoy immediately once chilled.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie or leftover grilled chicken for convenience and flavor.
  • Swap cheddar cheese for mozzarella, Colby Jack, or pepper jack to change the flavor profile.
  • For party platters, make bite-sized skewers with fewer ingredients per stick to increase variety and ease of eating.
