# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

02 - In a bowl, toss chicken cubes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

03 - Thread chicken, red bell pepper, and red onion onto skewers, alternating pieces.

04 - Brush skewers with half the BBQ sauce.

05 - Grill skewers for 12–15 minutes, turning occasionally and brushing with remaining BBQ sauce during the last 5 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.

06 - While the chicken cooks, arrange mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, radishes, and sweetcorn on serving plates or a large platter.

07 - Whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, chives, parsley, dill, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Thin with milk to desired consistency.

08 - Place grilled chicken skewers on top of the salad. Drizzle with herby ranch dressing or serve on the side. Serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -

You get that smoky grilled flavor without feeling heavy afterwards
The homemade ranch dressing puts bottled versions to absolute shame
Everything cooks on the skewers so cleanup is practically nonexistent

02 -

Wooden skewers need a good 30 minute soak or they will burn up on the grill
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after grilling so the juices redistribute
The dressing tastes better after it sits for at least 20 minutes

03 -

If your chicken is sticking to the grill, give it another minute before trying to flip
The dressing keeps for about a week in the fridge and is fantastic on sandwiches
