How to Make Cajun Chicken Grilled Skewers
  1. In a large bowl, combine diced chicken breasts, chopped bell peppers, and chopped red onion. Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
  2. Grab your skewers and thread the marinated chicken and colorful vegetables alternatively. Distribute them evenly along the skewer.
  3. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 12–15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken reaches 165°F.
  4. Serve these skewers with a squeeze of fresh lemon for an extra zesty kick.
