Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g boneless chicken breasts
- 120 ml plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 units red bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 units green bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 units red onion, cut into chunks
- 8 units wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Cut the chicken breasts into 1.5-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and allow it to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before grilling.
Thread the chicken cubes, alternating with pieces of red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion onto the skewers. Ensure that the items are snug on the skewers but not overcrowded.
Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char on the outside.
Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled chicken kebabs with a side of rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
