- 6-8 pieces Skewers Wooden or metal
- Olive oil For brushing

Preparation
- Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-2 inches.
- In a bowl, combine the chicken with teriyaki sauce and marinate for at least 30 minutes, ideally 2-4 hours.
- Chop the vegetables into similar sizes for even cooking.
Cooking
- Alternate threading the marinated chicken and vegetables onto the skewers.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat; soak wooden skewers in water if using.
- Brush the grill with olive oil and place the skewers on it. Grill for 10-15 minutes, turning frequently until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Once cooked, remove from the grill and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
Notes
Tip: Leave some space between each piece for even cooking. Consider oven-baking at 400°F for about 20 minutes if grilling is not an option.
