Chicken Skewers

I love making different skewers including chicken,lamb and even fruit.

Note : the original recipe uses breast fillets but thigh fillets are better ,you can use breast but dries out quick. I will also add red or green capsicum

You can also add button mushrooms but don't add to marinade, just add when assembling
