- 1 tbspOlive Oil
- ½ cupPesto

Instructions
- Wash all produce under running water, and keep leafy greens separate from raw meat and poultry. Cut the Chicken Breast and Zucchini into even bite-size pieces. Stir the Pesto, Basil, Lemon Juice, Olive Oil, and Table Salt together in a nonreactive container.
- Add the Chicken Breast, turn to coat, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Thread the Chicken Breast and Zucchini onto skewers, discarding the used marinade.
- Keep the raw Chicken Breast and raw juices away from ready-to-eat foods, utensils, and surfaces. Grill or broil the skewers, turning regularly, until the Chicken Breast reaches at least 165°F (73.9°C) on a food thermometer. Serve the skewers immediately from a clean platter.
