Preparation

  1. Soak the wooden skewers in water for 5-10 minutes.

  3. Preheat the oven or grill to 400˚F (200˚C).
  4. Assemble the skewers by threading alternating pieces of red, orange, yellow, and green bell peppers, red onion, and marinated chicken onto the skewers.
  5. Place skewers on a baking sheet and brush with remaining marinade.
  6. Bake or grill for 20-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
  7. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve.
  8. Enjoy!
