- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin

Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Step 3
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring all the pieces are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Step 4
Prepare your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 200°C/400°F).
Step 5
Meanwhile, thread the marinated chicken cubes onto soaked wooden skewers, alternating with pieces of bell peppers and onion wedges.
Step 6
Place the kebabs on the grill, cooking for 10 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Step 8
Serve hot with your choice of side dish, such as rice or a fresh salad.
