  2. Add bite-sized chunks of chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring even coating. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (375°F to 400°F). Oil the grates to prevent sticking.

  6. Remove kabobs, let rest for 3 minutes, and garnish with chives before serving.
