Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless chicken breast
• 100 grams Low fat yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 1 medium Onion
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for grilling)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the boneless chicken breast into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine low fat yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and mix well to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

Step 4

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Cut the red and green bell peppers and onion into 1-inch pieces.

Step 5

After the marinating period, begin assembling the shashlik skewers by alternating pieces of chicken, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion.

Step 6

Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Grill the skewers for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are lightly charred.

Step 8

Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon.
