Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 kg Chicken breast
- 150 g Plain Greek yogurt
- 60 ml Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes, about 2-3 cm (1 inch) in size.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully combined.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, up to overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers. If you're using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning.
Place the chicken skewers on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F).
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot with sides of your choice, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
