Method:
Cut the chicken breast lengthwise into 4 pieces and then cut these into pieces for our souvlaki. Each souvlaki will need 4 pieces of chicken Marinate the chicken pieces with the spices, salt, garlic and olive oil for half an hour. In the meantime, cut the peppers and tomatoes into pieces, taking care to make them as square as possible as they will be put on the souvlaki stick between the pieces of chicken.
Half an hour after you marinated the chicken, you should immediately begin to put them on the souvlaki stick. Place a piece of pepper, then a piece of tomato, then bacon and finally chicken, and then repeat, putting 3 chicken pieces on the souvlaki stick and finishing off with the pepper. Place them on the baking pan and pour any olive oil left from the marinade over the souvlaki. Heat the grill and cook for 15 minutes on each side.
