Marinate the Chicken
Cut the boneless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Mix well to ensure all chicken pieces are coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for the best flavor.

Skewering the Chicken
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers.

Cooking the Chicken
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char. If using an oven, place the skewers on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through.
