Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 150 ml Plain yogurt
- 50 ml Lemon juice
- 30 ml Olive oil
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp Ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp Ground coriander
- 8 Skewers
Instructions
1. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, black pepper, dried oregano, ground cumin, and ground coriander.
3. Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
4. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
5. Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
6. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece to ensure even cooking.
7. Grill the chicken skewers for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure they cook evenly on all sides. The chicken should have a golden char and be cooked through.
8. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
9. Serve the low sodium chicken taouk with a side of fresh salad or garlic sauce.
