Marinade

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

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

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Cut the boneless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Ensure the chicken is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for better flavor.

Skewer Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken marinates, chop the bell peppers, red onion, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes into similar-sized pieces for even cooking.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Skewers

    Once the chicken is marinated, take the skewers and alternate threading the marinated chicken pieces with the prepared vegetables onto each skewer.

Grilling

  1. 5

    Preheat the Grill

    Heat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 6

    Grill the Skewers

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

  3. 7

    Check for Doneness

    Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve

    Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the chicken kebabs with your choice of sauces and side dishes.
