Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 120 ml low-fat plain yogurt
- 30 ml lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 spray olive oil spray
- 8 wooden skewers
Directions
Step 1
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.
Step 2
Cut the boneless skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the low-fat plain yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground paprika, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create the marinade.
Step 4
Add the cubed chicken to the marinade and toss until all the pieces are thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Step 5
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the surface with olive oil spray.
Step 6
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked skewers, distributing them evenly.
Step 7
Place the skewers on the preheated grill, cooking for approximately 12 to 15 minutes. Turn the skewers occasionally, allowing the chicken to cook evenly and develop a slight char on all sides.
Step 8
Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) using a meat thermometer before removing it from the grill.
Step 9
Once cooked, remove the chicken kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve the low-fat chicken kebabs with a side of your choice, like a fresh salad or whole-wheat pita bread.
