Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken breast
- 120 grams full-fat Greek yogurt
- 30 ml fresh lemon juice
- 30 ml olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon ground allspice
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 piece Red bell pepper, sliced into large pieces
- 1 piece Green bell pepper, sliced into large pieces
- 1 piece onion, cut into wedges
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground allspice, ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.
Add the marinade to the chicken pieces, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
While the grill heats, thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, alternating with pieces of red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion wedges.
Once the grill is ready, place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and vegetables are slightly charred.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Keto Chicken Taouk with a side salad or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
