Notes

I provided information that this recipe is for 3 serving as I got 3 large skewers from two chicken breasts. You can spread them out more with more onions and peppers and make smaller skewers to have 4 serving. You can also multiply this recipe to create more skewers.

For the Garlic Yogurt sauce I used natural yogurt as it is more saucy. If you have Greek Yogurt you may need to add a little bit of water to loosen it up.
