# Cooking steps:

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

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

03 - Thread the chicken pieces onto soaked skewers.

04 - Grill skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and lightly charred. In the last 2 minutes, brush with barbecue sauce on all sides.

05 - While chicken cooks, assemble salad greens, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and avocado in a large bowl.

06 - In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.

07 - Toss salad with dressing just before serving.

08 - Top salad bowls with hot BBQ chicken skewers and serve immediately.

# Tips from flavorandfeast:

01 -

The smoky grilled chicken transforms an ordinary salad into something people actually get excited about eating
Everything comes together in under 40 minutes but tastes like you put way more thought into it

02 -

Soaking skewers is non-negotiable unless you want to explain to your guests why their dinner is on fire
Adding BBQ sauce too early will result in charred sugar flavor, not the good kind of char

03 -

Let the chicken rest for a couple minutes after grilling so the juices redistribute instead of running all over your salad
Warm the dressing slightly if you have been keeping it in the fridge, it will coat the greens better
