Ingredients

Scale

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
Wooden or metal skewers (if wooden, soaked in water for 30 minutes)

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground coriander, ground turmeric, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the cubed chicken breast to the marinade and toss to coat all pieces evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion.
Place the kebabs on the preheated grill and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char on the edges.
Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.
