Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 120 grams Plain Greek yogurt
- 45 ml Lemon juice
- 30 ml Olive oil
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 5 grams Paprika
- 5 grams Ground cumin
- 5 grams Ground coriander
- 5 grams Onion powder
- 3 grams Ground black pepper
- 5 grams Dried thyme
- 15 grams Fresh parsley
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breast into 2-inch cubes and set aside in a large bowl.
Step 2
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, onion powder, ground black pepper, and dried thyme.
Step 3
Mix the marinade ingredients thoroughly and pour over the cubed chicken.
Step 4
Ensure all the chicken pieces are evenly coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Step 5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Step 6
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece to ensure even cooking.
Step 7
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks.
Step 8
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Step 9
Garnish the chicken taouk skewers with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 10
Serve with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
