  3. Thread the chicken and veggies alternately on the skewers, aiming for a balanced distribution.
  4. Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat while assembling all your skewers.
  5. Grill the skewers for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is no longer pink and vegetables are tender yet crisp.
