White wine 2 tbsp
White vinegar 2 tbsp
Oil for brushing
Cherry tomatoes or big tomatoes halved

After 30 minutes, take the chicken and brush some oil on to them. You can additionally use any of the remaining mixture of the chicken to coat the small onions, bell peppers and cherry

Dip the skewers in water for 15 minutes.
Place these chicken breasts, along with the cherry tomatoes, onions and bell peppers in the skewers. Place these on the racks of the grill and grill at 180 to 200 degrees in the grill or microwave. Keep chicken the pieces now and then and if required brush more oil while you turn them.
