Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 120 grams Low-fat plain yogurt
- 30 ml Lemon juice
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 15 ml Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 1 medium Onion
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine low-fat yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, paprika, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Add the chicken cubes into the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Cut the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion into 1-inch pieces.
Thread the chicken cubes, alternating with pieces of red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion onto the soaked skewers.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as flatbreads, salad, or rice.
