Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 grams boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 150 grams plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 medium bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large red onion, cut into wedges
- 10 pieces wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring all the pieces are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Prepare your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 200°C/400°F).
Meanwhile, thread the marinated chicken cubes onto soaked wooden skewers, alternating with pieces of bell peppers and onion wedges.
Place the kebabs on the grill, cooking for 10 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Once cooked, remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Serve hot with your choice of side dish, such as rice or a fresh salad.
