Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Boneless chicken thighs
- 1 cup Plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 unit Red onion, chopped into large pieces
- 2 units Bell peppers (any color), chopped into large pieces
- 12 units Wooden skewers, soaked in water
Instructions
Cut the boneless chicken thighs into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground paprika, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and stir to coat the chicken pieces evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for best flavor.
Once marinated, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken cubes, red onion pieces, and bell pepper pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating between chicken and vegetables.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the kebabs on the grill.
Cook the kebabs for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled chicken kebabs with your choice of sides like a fresh salad, rice, or flatbreads.
