Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup low-fat plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- cooking spray
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes for nugget-sized pieces.
In a medium bowl, combine the low-fat yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix well to form the marinade.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for better flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Lightly spray the grill with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before use to prevent burning.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Remove the chicken nuggets from the skewers and serve warm with your favorite low-fat dipping sauce.
