2. Stir into the limejuice, olive oil, salt and pepper.
3. Cut the boneless skinless chicken breast into small 1 ½-inch pieces. If your pieces are too large, the cooking time increases and or you take a chance they will not cooked thoroughly. If you are making the casserole, the chicken chunks could be larger.
4. Add the chicken to the lime mixture, stir and allow the chicken to marinate no less than 10 minutes.
5. Taking skewers, start threading alternately, the peppers, onion and chicken. Mix up the colors of the peppers as you put them on the skewers making them look appealing as well as taste good.
6. Grill the lime chicken kebabs approximately 10-15 minutes or until the chicken is 165 degrees Fahrenheit. If baking in casserole form, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 1 to 1 ½ hours, again the meat needs to be 165 degrees.
