Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup low-fat plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 8 pieces skewers

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside in a large bowl.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine the low-fat yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, coriander, and olive oil, whisking together to form a marinade.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes, ensuring they are completely coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for the best flavor infusion.

Step 4

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 5

Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, dividing evenly among them.

Step 6

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for approximately 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.

Step 7

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Step 8

Serve the Chicken Taouk hot with your choice of sides, such as a fresh salad, pita bread, or a light garlic sauce.
