Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
• 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 large red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 large yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 large green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 8 wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Dice the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, minced ginger, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric powder, black pepper, and olive oil. Mix well to form the marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for better flavor.

Step 4

Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.

Step 5

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 6

Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of red onion and the three colors of bell peppers.

Step 7

Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and sprinkle the chopped fresh cilantro over the kababs.

Step 9

Serve the chicken kababs hot with a side of vegetable salad or low-sodium dipping sauce of your choice.
