Seared grill marks on the skewers add appetizing depth, while a drizzle of raspberry glaze gives a glistening finish. A smattering of fresh raspberries and a final dusting of chopped fresh herbs across the plate add pops of color.

Thread the marinated chicken chunks onto skewers then grill over medium to high heat, basting occasionally with the remaining glaze, until golden and cooked through.
Step 6 - 🍽️🥗😋

Serve the chicken skewers over a bed of coleslaw and enjoy your meal!
