Step 1
If using wood skewers, soak at least 30 minutes before skewering ingredients.
Step 2
In a bowl, prepare marinade. Add olive oil, lemon juice, spices, brown sugar and salt and pepper to taste, then whisk to combine.
Step 3
In a zippable bag, add marinade and chicken. Marinate chicken for 2 hours, then add vegetables and marinate for another 15 minutes.
