Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 1 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and coat them in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (preferably overnight).
- Prepare Skewers: Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Assemble Kebabs: Thread marinated chicken onto skewers with spaces between pieces; add bell peppers or onions if desired.
- Preheat Grill: Heat grill to medium-high.
- Grill Kebabs: Cook skewers for about 10-12 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), turning occasionally for even cooking.
- Serve: Remove from skewers and drizzle with tahini sauce made from tahini mixed with lemon juice and water. Garnish with fresh parsley.
