Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup low-fat plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0 cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes for nugget-sized pieces.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the low-fat yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix well to form the marinade.
Step 3
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for better flavor.
Step 4
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Step 5
Lightly spray the grill with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before use to prevent burning.
Step 7
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Step 8
Remove the chicken nuggets from the skewers and serve warm with your favorite low-fat dipping sauce.
