Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken breast
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 10 wooden skewers
Directions
Step 1
Slice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, tomato paste, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 3
Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces and mix thoroughly to ensure all the chicken is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor penetration.
Step 4
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent burning during grilling.
Step 5
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 6
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, ensuring they are packed closely but not too tightly.
Step 7
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, turning occasionally, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and has slight char marks.
Step 8
Remove the skewers from the grill and let rest for a couple of minutes.
Step 9
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Step 10
Enjoy your Keto Shish Taouk with a side of fresh salad or keto-friendly wrap.
