Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 cup Low sodium Greek yogurt
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the low sodium Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, dried thyme, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well to form a marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken cubes to the bowl with the marinade. Stir well to ensure all the chicken pieces are coated evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for the best flavor.

Step 4

Preheat a grill pan or an outdoor grill over medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 5

Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece for even cooking.

Step 6

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.

Step 7

Remove from the grill and let the skewers rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve the Low Sodium Shish Tawook with a side of fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
