Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 grams boneless skinless chicken breast
- 120 grams plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 medium bell peppers
- 1 medium red onion
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into 1.5-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably up to 3 hours for maximum flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, cut the bell peppers and red onion into similar-sized pieces to the chicken.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers, alternating with pieces of bell pepper and red onion.
Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking, then place the skewers on the grill.
Grill the kebabs for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables have a nice char.
Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top before serving.
Serve the kebabs hot with your choice of side dishes, such as a fresh salad or fluffy couscous.
