Prepare the Skewers
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. This step is optional for metal skewers.

Assemble the Skewers
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini. Aim for about 4-5 pieces of chicken per skewer, interspersed with veggies.
