Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Chicken breast
- 150 g Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Ground coriander
- 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 Red bell pepper, cut into squares
- 1 Green bell pepper, cut into squares
- 1 Yellow bell pepper, cut into squares
- 8 Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
Begin by cutting the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best results.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using an oven, preheat to 200°C (400°F).
Thread the marinated chicken, alternating with pieces of red, green, and yellow bell peppers, onto the soaked wooden skewers.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks.
If using an oven, place the skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Remove the skewers from the grill or oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy these Low Carb Chicken Taouk Skewers with a side of salad or your favorite low-carb accompaniments.
