Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 600 grams chicken breast
- 120 grams full-fat Greek yogurt
- 50 ml olive oil
- 30 ml lemon juice
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 red onion
- 1 bell pepper
- 30 grams fresh parsley
- 8 wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, coriander, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes, mixing until all pieces are thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
While the chicken is marinating, slice the red onion and bell pepper into large chunks, approximately the same size as the chicken pieces.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the chicken, onion, and bell pepper alternately onto the skewers. Ensure to start and end with chicken pieces.
Once the grill is ready, place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and shows grill marks. Internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F).
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the Keto Shish Tawook with a side of mixed greens or a low-carb salad for a complete meal.
