Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken breast
- 120 grams Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken breast. Cut the 500 grams of chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 120 grams of Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, and mix well.
Mince the 3 garlic cloves finely and add them to the yogurt mixture.
Add the spices to the mixture: 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of coriander powder, 0.5 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir everything until a smooth marinade forms.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for best flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
While waiting for the grill, thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving a small space between each piece for even cooking.
Once the grill is hot, place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is well-cooked and has nice grill marks.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your delicious low-carb Shish Taouk!
