Marinate the Chicken
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and add to the marinade. Ensure all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for better flavor.

Prepare the Skewers
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. After marinating, thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
