Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless chicken breast
- 100 grams Low fat yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 1 medium Onion
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for grilling)
Instructions
Cut the boneless chicken breast into 1-inch cubes.
In a large bowl, combine low fat yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and mix well to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Cut the red and green bell peppers and onion into 1-inch pieces.
After the marinating period, begin assembling the shashlik skewers by alternating pieces of chicken, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion.
Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Grill the skewers for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are lightly charred.
Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon.
