Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless skinless chicken breast
- 120 grams Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 medium Red onion
- 2 medium Bell peppers (any color)
- 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Cut the boneless skinless chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes and mix until all the pieces are thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for more intense flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning (skip this step if using metal skewers).
Cut the red onion and bell peppers into 1-inch pieces. These will be alternated with the chicken on the skewers.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces, red onion, and bell peppers alternately onto the skewers, leaving space at each end for handling.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the high protein chicken kebabs hot with a side of your choice, such as a fresh salad or warm pita bread.
