Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless chicken breast
• 100 grams Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 units Garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece Ginger
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Cracked black pepper
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
• 1 unit Green bell pepper
• 1 unit Red onion

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the chicken: cut the boneless chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, chili powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, salt, and cracked black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best results.

Step 4

While the chicken marinates, prepare the vegetables. Cut the green bell pepper and red onion into similar-sized pieces as the chicken, about 1-inch squares.

Step 5

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before use to prevent burning.

Step 6

Take the marinated chicken out of the refrigerator. Thread the chicken pieces, green bell pepper, and red onion onto the skewers, alternating between them.

Step 7

Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Once cooked, remove from the grill and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.

Step 9

Serve the low carb chicken kababs immediately with your choice of low carb side, like a fresh salad or herbed cauliflower rice.
