Cut the chicken breast into 1.5-inch pieces and set aside in a mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, ground coriander, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces, ensuring they are all well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best flavor.
Soak the wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature while preparing the rest of the ingredients.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers, alternating with chunks of red onion and bell pepper.
Grill the skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and has a slight char on the outside.
If using an oven, place the skewers on a baking sheet and roast for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through the cooking time, until the chicken is cooked and vegetables are tender.
Garnish the kababs with freshly chopped cilantro and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
