Chicken Kabab Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

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

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Ensure the chicken is well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

  4. 4

    Skewer the Chicken

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

  5. 5

    Grill the Kababs

    Preheat your grill to 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.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the kababs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with pita bread, fresh salad, or a yogurt dip.
