1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Skewers:
1/2 pound boneless chicken breast, cut in 1-inch cubes

Steps:

Combine the marinade ingredients in a medium-size bowl, add the chicken cubes, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Remove the chicken cubes from the marinade. Thread the meat, fruit, and vegetables on the skewers, placing one chicken cube between each vegetable or fruit piece. Discard the marinade.
Place the skewers on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes on each side.
Preheat the broiler.
Broil for 3 minutes on each side until cooked through and vegetables are slightly brown.
Alternatively, you can grill the skewers 5 to 10 minutes on each side, until cooked through.
