Ingredients

• 500 g Chicken breast
• 150 g Plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Ground coriander
• 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 1 Red bell pepper, cut into squares
• 1 Green bell pepper, cut into squares
• 1 Yellow bell pepper, cut into squares
• 8 Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by cutting the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best results.

Step 4

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using an oven, preheat to 200°C (400°F).

Step 5

Thread the marinated chicken, alternating with pieces of red, green, and yellow bell peppers, onto the soaked wooden skewers.

Step 6

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks.

Step 7

If using an oven, place the skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

Step 8

Remove the skewers from the grill or oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 9

Enjoy these Low Carb Chicken Taouk Skewers with a side of salad or your favorite low-carb accompaniments.
