A meal that makes it look like you tried and like it was a whole thing.
But it wasn’t. That’s the whole point.
Toss chicken and peppers in a quick lemon-olive oil mix, throw them on skewers and let the grill handle the rest. While that’s happening, Minute Garlic Parmesan Rice Cups heat up in sixty to ninety seconds, depending on how many you make.
No juggling. No extra steps. Barely any dishes. A flavor-forward meal in about 20 minutes, start to finish. This one stays in your rotation.
Pro tip: Using wooden skewers? Give them a quick soak (20–30 minutes) before they hit the grill. Less burning, more grilling. Win-win.

Grilled Chicken Skewers FAQs
How do I know when the chicken is fully cooked?
Chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the juices run clear. If you don’t have a thermometer, cut into a piece—the center should be fully white, not pink.
Can I cook these without a grill?
Yes. Use a grill pan or cook them in a skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally until fully cooked.
How do I keep the chicken from drying out?
Don’t overcook it. Pull it off the grill as soon as it hits 165°F and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
