Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 24 cubes
24 (about 1 1/2 cups) refrigerated new potato wedges (from 1-pound 4-ounce bag)
24 pieces (about 1 inch) celery
2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon red pepper sauce
1/2 teaspoon black and red pepper blend
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
6 cups torn romaine lettuce
1/2 cup shredded carrot
1/2 cup blue cheese dressing

Directions

1

Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Thread chicken, potatoes and celery alternately on each of eight 8- to 10-inch metal skewers, leaving 1/4-inch space between each piece. Mix oil and pepper sauce; brush over chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle with pepper blend and seasoned salt.
2

Cover and grill kabobs 4 to 6 inches from medium heat 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink in center and potatoes are tender.
3

Arrange romaine and carrot on 4 individual serving plates. Top each with 2 kabobs. Serve with dressing.

Expert Tips

tip 1
If you don't have the refrigerated potatoes, use fresh new red potatoes. Because the refrigerated potatoes are partially cooked, you'll need to slightly cook the fresh ones. Place 2 cups of new potato wedges in a glass casserole. Cover and microwave on High for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring once, until slightly cooked.
tip 2
This is a super one-dish entrée salad, so all you need to add is warm garlic bread. Wrap it in foil, then heat it on the grill for 5 to 10 minutes.
tip 3
This recipe is based on the popular Buffalo Chicken Wings appetizer that originated at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York.
