Marinade and Chicken
Method
Preparation and Cooking
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breast and coat it well with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best flavor.
- 2
Prepare the Skewers
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning. If using metal skewers, ensure they are clean and ready for use.
- 3
Skewer the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and thread the pieces onto the skewers. Discard any leftover marinade.
- 4
Grill the Skewers
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
- 5
Serve
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve warm with pita bread, rice, or a fresh salad.
