Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine low-fat yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, paprika, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 3
Add the chicken cubes into the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Step 4
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Thread the chicken cubes, alternating with pieces of red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion onto the soaked skewers.
Step 7
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Step 8
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.
Step 9
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as flatbreads, salad, or rice.
