Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 Red onion, cut into wedges
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 Bell pepper, cut into chunks
• 8 Wooden skewers, soaked in water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to blend.

Step 4

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. While the grill is heating, thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, alternating with red onion wedges, cherry tomatoes, and bell pepper chunks.

Step 5

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and charred on the edges.

Step 6

Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy with a side of Tzatziki sauce or a Mediterranean salad.
