Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 Bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 8 Wooden skewers, soaked in water
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to blend.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. While the grill is heating, thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, alternating with red onion wedges, cherry tomatoes, and bell pepper chunks.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and charred on the edges.
Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy with a side of Tzatziki sauce or a Mediterranean salad.
