Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 120 ml Plain Greek yogurt
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1 piece Red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 piece Green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 piece Red onion, sliced
• 200 grams Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• 0 Optional: Pita bread or steamed rice

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, prepare the marinade by combining Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, cayenne pepper, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well.

Step 3

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, making sure they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor).

Step 4

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the marinated chicken cubes to the skillet in a single layer. Sear for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion. Sauté for 4–5 minutes until softened.

Step 7

Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until they soften slightly.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to combine with the vegetables. Cook for 1–2 minutes to ensure everything is heated through.

Step 9

Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 10

Serve the Shish Tawook Skillet warm with pita bread or over steamed rice.
