Steps:
- To make the grilled chicken skewers: Soak 8 (or more if needed) thin wooden skewers in water. Moisten the chicken with olive oil and season to taste. Thread the chicken fillets onto the skewers and grill on a hot stovetop cast-iron skillet, turning around to cook all sides.

- To serve: Arrange the grilled chicken skewers on a platter or over bed of rice, alongside a bowl of the sauce, and lemon wedges on the side (optional).

- Grill the fruit skewers over medium heat for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are slightly charred and caramelized.
- Serve the fruit skewers immediately with the sweet yogurt sauce.
- For a more decadent dessert, drizzle the fruit skewers with chocolate sauce or whipped cream.
