Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 3 cloves Minced garlic
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and minced garlic. Mix well.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and stir to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, leaving a small space between each piece for even cooking.
Grill the chicken skewers for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and have a nice char on the outside.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Chicken Taouk skewers warm with your choice of side dishes, such as rice, salad, or pita bread.
