- Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch pieces and place in a large resealable plastic bag or large mixing bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
- If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes prior to using them. Skip this step if you are using metal skewers.
- Once the chicken has marinated, you're ready to make the skewers. Thread a piece of chicken onto the skewer, followed by a piece of bell pepper and a piece of red onion. Repeat until the skewer is full then repeat on a new skewer until all the chicken has been used.3 bell peppers, 1 red onion
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Prepare a baking sheet by covering it in aluminum foil and then placing a wire wrack on top. Spray the wire rack with nonstick spray so the chicken does not stick to the pan. Place your prepared skewers on the wire rack.
- Baking for 15-20 minutes, flipping the skewers halfway through to ensure even cooking. Ensure the chicken is cooked through to 165°F then remove from the oven. Season with flaky salt as it comes out of the oven.
- Serve with pita bread and tzatziki sauce and enjoy!
