If grilling, skewer the chicken and grill for 6-10 minutes or until cooked through, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. If baking place the sheet pan in the oven while it preheats. When ready, remove the pan, drizzle with olive oil and spread the chicken into an even layer. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until cooked through.
