Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Soak the bamboo skewers in warm water for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat an indoor or outdoor grill.
- While the skewers are soaking, whisk together the yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, 2 Tbsps. parmesan cheese, salt, and ground black pepper.
- Add the chicken pieces to a bowl and pour 3 Tbsps. of the dressing over the chicken and toss to lightly coat. Let the chicken sit for 15 minutes. Note: Reserve the extra dressing and be sure it does not come in contact with the raw chicken.
- Thread alternating pieces of chicken and red bell pepper onto the soaked skewers starting and ending with the chicken, using 3 pieces of chicken and 3 pieces of red pepper.
- Grill the kabobs about 7 minutes, turning frequently or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches 165 degrees F. Set aside.
- Toss the romaine lettuce with the remaining salad dressing and then serve by putting two cups of salad on a plate, top with two chicken kabobs, sprinkle with 8 slices of olive, and one Tbsp. of grated parmesan cheese.
