Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken breast
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 10 wooden skewers
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, tomato paste, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces and mix thoroughly to ensure all the chicken is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor penetration.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent burning during grilling.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, ensuring they are packed closely but not too tightly.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, turning occasionally, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and has slight char marks.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let rest for a couple of minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Enjoy your Keto Shish Taouk with a side of fresh salad or keto-friendly wrap.
