Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 200 g Plain Greek yogurt
- 60 ml Lemon juice
- 50 ml Extra virgin olive oil
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Ground coriander
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 10 Wooden skewers
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, coriander, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a smooth marinade.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a small space between each piece for even cooking.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks.
Remove the chicken skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve your Sugar-Free Chicken Taouk Skewers hot, with your favorite sugar-free dipping sauce or side salad.
