For these light and summery appetizers or snacks, you'll need four 8-inch skewers. Meal prep is effortless thanks to the string cheese and grape tomatoes. Cut the string cheese into small cubes and alternate with the grape tomatoes on the skewers. Or, you can get some little helpers to assist you while you make the homemade pesto sauce. The nutty, basil condiment will pack the flavor that will liven up the tomato and cheese skewers. To make this dish vegetarian-friendly, swap out the chicken broth for vegetable broth instead. Double or triple the recipe for your next summer cookout or picnic at the park.
