  • Then marinate the chicken cubes with this marinade. Add the veggies too to this marinade. Mix it very well and set aside for 30 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes, put the marinated chicken and veggies into the bamboo skewers.
  • Take a skewer, put one piece chicken followed by bell pepper cherry tomato and baby potato. Repeat the same until one skewer is completely done.
  • Now take a baking tray lined with silver foil. Grease the foil with oil. Now keep the skewers on the baking tray. Apply some oil on the top of the chicken.
  • Keep the chicken skewers in the pre heated oven (preheat for 5 minutes) and bake for 15 minutes (at 200 degree C). Take out carefully and flip the other side. Apply some oil on the top. Again bake for another 15 minutes. It will take around 30 - 40 minutes for the perfect texture, time depends on the oven used. So bake until chicken is done.
  • Garnish with lime wedges and cherry tomatoes. Serve hot.
