Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken breast
- 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 10 wooden skewers, soaked in water
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes, about 1.5 inches in size.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create the marinade.
Step 3
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and mix until all pieces are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Step 4
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Step 5
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
Step 6
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and charred on the edges.
Step 7
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 8
Enjoy the Keto Chicken Taouk Skewers on their own or serve with a side of your favorite keto-friendly dip or salad.
