Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 count Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 8 count Skewers (wooden or metal)
Directions
Step 1
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Step 2
Cut the chicken breasts into 1- to 1.5-inch bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, and honey until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
Step 5
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 6
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a small space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
Step 7
Lightly oil the grill grates or grill pan to prevent sticking. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Step 9
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as rice, salad, or grilled vegetables.
