2. Add the chicken cubes to the bowl and toss until well coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.
3. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.

6. Grill the kabobs for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred.
