Prep time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Total time: 25 minutes

The ingredients are as follows though I used some old focaccia instead of a baguette so don’t worry if your skewers look different.
INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into large cubes
• kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp. tomato paste
• 1/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp. chopped fresh Italian parsley, plus more leaves for garnish
• 8 skewers, soaked in water for 20 minutes
• 1 baguette French bread, cut into cubes

INSTRUCTIONS

• Step 1
   Season chicken with salt and pepper. Make marinade: combine tomato paste, olive oil, garlic cloves, and chopped parsley in large bowl. Add chicken and toss to fully coat. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Step 2
   Preheat grill to medium-high. Skewer chicken and bread. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Step 3
   Grill, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and bread slightly charred, about 10 minutes. Garnish with parsley.

Tips & Notes

while the skewers are designed to be cooked on a grill you can also cook them on a cooking plate
