We used 5 pieces of chicken on each kebab, so three large chicken breasts made 9 kebabs. You could stretch the number of kebabs by adding more veggies, such as cherry tomatoes or mushrooms and one less piece of chicken. Serve kebabs over rice or with a side of corn on the cob.
If you are using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for 1 hour before assembling the kebabs to prevent burning.
