Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 6 skewers Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are completely covered. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has grill marks.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Garnish the skewers with chopped parsley and serve hot with your choice of accompaniments like pita bread, salad, or rice.
