    Cut chicken into 1-inch strips, then cut each strip into 1-inch chunks. Mix in medium bowl with taco seasoning mix and oil; set aside.

    Cut tops and bottoms off bell peppers. Remove seeds and ribs, and cut each pepper into 1-inch chunks; set aside. Peel and cut onion into 1-inch chunks; set aside. Alternately thread chunks of seasoned chicken, bell peppers and onion onto skewers.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    For a fun, tropical twist, thread chunks of pineapple or mango onto the skewers in addition to the chicken, peppers and onions.
  • tip 2
    Both bamboo and metal skewers are easy to find in any grilling department of most grocery and home improvement stores. When using bamboo skewers, be sure to soak them in water for an hour before grilling so they don’t burn away on the grill.
