Marinade
For Grilling
Method
Marinating the Chicken
Prepare Marinade
In a large mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, lemon juice, yogurt, olive oil, ground cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Whisk until smooth.
Marinate Chicken
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and add them to the marinade. Ensure all chicken pieces are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
Preparing Skewers
Soak Skewers
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Skewer Chicken and Vegetables
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of bell peppers, onions, and cherry tomatoes.
Grilling
Preheat Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Serve
Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with rice or pita bread and your favorite dipping sauce.
