- Cut your peppers in 1 inch squares and alternate on the skewers with chicken thigh and breast pieces.
- Heat your grill and lightly baste with coconut oil so your chicken sears nicely. On medium high heat, grill your kabobs on all sides until done. You can always finish these in the oven for 10 mins at 350F if you think the chicken needs more cooking.
