Southwest Chicken Skewers

Southwest chicken skewers are a delicious, healthy grilled dinner. Southwest seasoned chicken breast and fiber filled veggies are in this 21 Day Fix recipe.

I love to make grilled chicken and veggies in the summer, but there is something more fun when they are served on a skewer!

I have been making my Pinapple Chicken Skewers and Balsamic Zucchini and Chicken Skewers a lot this summer, so I wanted to make a different version this week.

Grilled southwest chicken, green pepper, and red onion alternate on wooden skewers. Many are piled on a long rectangular plate with a dark background.

These Southwest Skewers are so easy to make and a fun, low-carb twist on your weekly taco night.  I love topping these with fresh salsa, avocado, and shredded cheese!  I was out of blue the day I made these, so I stuck with just the salsa.

Darn blue container is just not big enough.

Anyway, these were awesome paired with my cilantro lime cauliflower rice!
