Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 120 ml low-fat plain yogurt
- 30 ml lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 spray olive oil spray
- 8 wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.
Cut the boneless skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the low-fat plain yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground paprika, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the cubed chicken to the marinade and toss until all the pieces are thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the surface with olive oil spray.
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked skewers, distributing them evenly.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill, cooking for approximately 12 to 15 minutes. Turn the skewers occasionally, allowing the chicken to cook evenly and develop a slight char on all sides.
Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) using a meat thermometer before removing it from the grill.
Once cooked, remove the chicken kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the low-fat chicken kebabs with a side of your choice, like a fresh salad or whole-wheat pita bread.
