Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 3 cloves Minced garlic
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and minced garlic. Mix well.
Step 3
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and stir to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Step 4
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
Step 5
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 6
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, leaving a small space between each piece for even cooking.
Step 7
Grill the chicken skewers for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and have a nice char on the outside.
Step 8
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the Chicken Taouk skewers warm with your choice of side dishes, such as rice, salad, or pita bread.
