About Chicken skewers with green sauce

Chicken Skewers with Green Sauce are a flavorful dish rooted in Latin American cuisine, often popularized by Peruvian and Mexican influences. This recipe features tender chicken marinated with herbs, spices, and citrus, then grilled to perfection on skewers. The accompanying green sauce typically combines ingredients like cilantro, lime juice, garlic, and yogurt or avocado, creating a zesty and creamy complement to the smoky chicken. Packed with lean protein from the chicken and antioxidants from the fresh herbs, this dish is a nutritious option that supports muscle repair and immune health. While lower in fat due to its grilling method, portions and the sauce's fat content should be moderated for those watching calorie intake. Ideal as a light entrée or snack, these skewers deliver bold taste and balanced nutrients.
