Tips:

Choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs: This will make it easier to skewer the chicken and will also help to reduce the cooking time.
Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces: This will help to ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.
Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes: This will help to add flavor and moisture to the chicken.
Use a variety of vegetables for your kabobs: This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to your dish.
Skewer the chicken and vegetables alternately: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out and will also make your kabobs more visually appealing.
Cook the kabobs over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from burning and will also help to ensure that the vegetables cook through.
Cook the kabobs for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through: You can check the chicken is cooked by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Serve the kabobs with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular options include tzatziki sauce, hummus, or ranch dressing.
