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.
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!
If you try these Southwest chicken skewers, please let me know what you think.

Looks really good but how many skewers does this make? How many skewers in a serving?
Nancylynn says
It really depends on how much you stack the skewers and how small you cut everything. The recipe makes 4 servings, so I would try for 8 skewers and have 2 per serving.
