Tips:

To ensure tender and flavorful kabobs, choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs.
Marinate the chicken in a flavorful mixture of Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
Use wooden skewers that have been soaked in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning.
Skewer the chicken pieces, vegetables, and halloumi cheese in a uniform pattern, leaving a little space between each piece to allow for even cooking.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before grilling the kabobs.
Grill the kabobs for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Serve the kabobs immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tzatziki sauce or hummus.
