Skewer and Grill
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, alternating with chopped bell peppers and onion. Brush the skewers with olive oil before placing them on a preheated grill. Grill for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
