Grilled Chicken Skewers
The best thing about these Grilled Chicken Skewers is that they only require a few ingredients and are super easy to make. These skewers are packed with smokey and fresh flavours making this the perfect recipe for every occasion.
I love when recipes are easy. And with these skewers, you don’t have to worry about bad weather since they grill up just as well as they grill in the oven, which means you can enjoy them outside on the bbq or inside under the grill.

What to serve with chicken skewers
Naan Bread: Nothing beats soft and warm pieces of fresh naan bread, especially with the juiciness of these chicken skewers
Rice: I love to eat these Grilled Chicken Skewers with fresh savoury rice. Try my One-Pot Vegetable Rice with these skewers!
Salad: Looking for a healthier alternative? Then eat these chicken skewers with a big bowl of salad. I personally love mixing crispy lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, and shredded mint in my salad.
Methods of cooking
For this recipe, I’ve tried both grilling in the oven and barbecuing these Chicken Skewers. I’ll have to admit both methods of cooking taste just as great. But I prefer grilling in the oven as it saves so much more time.
In the oven: Pre-heat the oven to 230C and grill chicken for 15-20 minutes or until cooked in the centre
On the barbecue: Cook the skewers for 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked in the centre
