Ingredients

• 500 grams boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 120 grams plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 units garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 unit red bell pepper, cut into chunks
• 1 unit green bell pepper, cut into chunks
• 1 unit red onion, cut into chunks
• 8 units wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, stirring to coat each piece thoroughly. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for a deeper flavor.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 5

Alternately thread the marinated chicken, red bell pepper chunks, green bell pepper chunks, and onion chunks onto the skewers.

Step 6

Place the skewers on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 7

Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning the skewers halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly charred on the edges.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the kebabs rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the kebabs warm with your choice of side such as a fresh salad or rice.
