Notes

  • If you are using wooden skewers, don’t forget to soak them in water before using them.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours. The longer it marinates, the more tender and flavorful the chicken.
  • Keep turning the skewers while baking for that perfectly cooked chicken.
  • If you are air frying, you may need to cut your skewers or purchase ones that fit in your air fryer. 
  • Always check for doneness with a meat thermometer. The temperature should be 165F/74C when inserted into the thickest part of chicken breasts.
  • Storage - keep in an airtight container inside the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • There are 7 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
