Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup Lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
• 8 pieces Wooden skewers, soaked in water

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, ground coriander, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to form the marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 5

Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.

Step 6

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shish tawook with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
