Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 120 grams plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 unit red bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 unit green bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 unit red onion, cut into chunks
- 8 units wooden skewers
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, stirring to coat each piece thoroughly. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for a deeper flavor.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Alternately thread the marinated chicken, red bell pepper chunks, green bell pepper chunks, and onion chunks onto the skewers.
Place the skewers on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning the skewers halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly charred on the edges.
Remove from the oven and let the kebabs rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the kebabs warm with your choice of side such as a fresh salad or rice.
