Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken breast
- 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 10 wooden skewers, soaked in water
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes, about 1.5 inches in size.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and mix until all pieces are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and charred on the edges.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Enjoy the Keto Chicken Taouk Skewers on their own or serve with a side of your favorite keto-friendly dip or salad.
