Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the chicken cubes, olive oil, and the blackening spice mix. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the Skewers
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning. If using metal skewers, skip this step.

Assemble the Skewers
Once marinated, thread the chicken cubes, bell pepper chunks, and red onion pieces onto the skewers, alternating between each component.

Cook the Skewers
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.

Serve
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your blackened chicken skewers!
