Cut the chicken breast and lean beef steak into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1 inch cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the low-fat plain yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken and beef cubes to the yogurt marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
While the meat is marinating, cut the red and green bell peppers into 1-inch pieces and slice the red onion into chunks.
Preheat the grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated meat, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes alternately onto metal skewers or soaked wooden skewers.
Lightly spray the kebabs with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill or under the broiler, turning occasionally, and cook for about 12-15 minutes or until the chicken and beef are fully cooked and vegetables are slightly charred.
Serve hot, directly from the skewer, or slide off onto a serving platter. These kebabs pair perfectly with a fresh salad or whole grain pita.
