Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless chicken breast
- 200 grams Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the boneless chicken breast into 1-inch cubes, set aside in a mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the yogurt marinade to the chicken cubes, making sure all the pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
Grill the chicken skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char on the outside.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with a side of grilled vegetables or a light salad.
