A flavorful and high-protein chicken kebab recipe perfect for a healthy meal. Marinated chicken breast pieces are grilled to juicy perfection and served with a fresh yogurt sauce.
500 grams boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 small red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
8 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
150 grams plain Greek yogurt (for sauce)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (for sauce)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (for sauce)
1/4 teaspoon salt (for sauce)
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (for sauce)
In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground coriander, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper to make the marinade.
Add the chicken breast cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, up to 2 hours for best flavor.
Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces alternately with red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
While the kebabs are grilling, prepare the yogurt sauce by combining the plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Mix well and refrigerate until serving.
Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes.
Serve the chicken kebabs hot with the yogurt sauce on the side.
