Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 600 grams chicken breast
- 120 ml plain yogurt
- 60 ml olive oil
- 60 ml lemon juice
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 wooden skewers
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes, approximately 3-4 cm in size.
In a large bowl, combine the plain yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or place the contents into a resealable plastic bag.
Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight for the best flavor.
Before grilling, soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked skewers, distributing them evenly across all 8 skewers.
Grill the chicken skewers for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a slightly charred surface.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the Gluten-Free Chicken Taouk Skewers hot with your choice of side dishes, such as a fresh salad or gluten-free flatbreads.
