Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 4 tablespoons yogurt (full-fat, unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 8 pieces bamboo skewers
Instructions
Start by preparing the chicken breast. Cut it into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and yogurt. Whisk them together to form a smooth marinade.
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, ground paprika, ground turmeric, salt, and black pepper to the marinade and mix well.
Chop the fresh cilantro finely and add it to the marinade, stirring to combine.
Place the chicken cubes into the marinade and ensure they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for more intense flavor.
If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before assembling the kababs to prevent burning during grilling.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken cubes from the marinade and thread them onto the soaked bamboo skewers.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char.
Remove the kababs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Keto Chicken Kababs with a side of fresh salad or cauliflower rice to maintain the keto-friendly aspect of your meal.
