Start by cutting your vegetables into 1 inch chunks. Toss them in olive oil and half of the shawarma seasoning. Cut the chicken breast into 2 inch cubes and place the chunks into a bowl. Sprinkle on the remaining half of the shawarma seasoning and evenly mix so that all of the chicken is coated. Thread the chicken and vegetables onto the skewers then place the skewers into a baking pan to go in the oven for 40 minutes at 375 degrees. Alternatively, you could place these on the grill for even more flavor.
