Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 4 tablespoons yogurt (full-fat, unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 8 pieces bamboo skewers
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the chicken breast. Cut it into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and yogurt. Whisk them together to form a smooth marinade.
Step 3
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, ground paprika, ground turmeric, salt, and black pepper to the marinade and mix well.
Step 4
Chop the fresh cilantro finely and add it to the marinade, stirring to combine.
Step 5
Place the chicken cubes into the marinade and ensure they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for more intense flavor.
Step 6
If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before assembling the kababs to prevent burning during grilling.
Step 7
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 8
Remove the chicken cubes from the marinade and thread them onto the soaked bamboo skewers.
Step 9
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char.
Step 10
Remove the kababs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 11
Serve the Keto Chicken Kababs with a side of fresh salad or cauliflower rice to maintain the keto-friendly aspect of your meal.
