Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 10 wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a smooth marinade.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and thread the pieces onto the soaked skewers.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked with a slightly charred exterior.

Step 7

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.

Step 8

Serve the chicken kebabs hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
