Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 120 ml plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large red onion, cut into chunks
- 2 pieces bell peppers, cut into chunks
- 150 grams cherry tomatoes
- 12 pieces wooden skewers, soaked in water
Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into 1.5-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and mix well, ensuring all pieces are thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating with chunks of red onion and bell peppers.
Place the skewers on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper.
Arrange the cherry tomatoes around the skewers on the baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning the skewers halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred at the edges.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as rice, flatbread, or a fresh salad.
