Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless chicken breast
- 100 grams Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 8 units wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Start by cutting the boneless chicken breast into roughly 1-inch cubes. Set aside in a mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined to create the marinade.
Add the marinade to the bowl containing chicken cubes. Mix thoroughly so that the chicken is evenly coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. Ensure the grill is not too hot to prevent burning.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve the sugar-free chicken kebabs warm as an appetizer or main course.
