instructions
    1

    Start by soaking the skewers in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.

    2

    In a mixing bowl, combine 200 grams of yogurt, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, minced garlic from 3 cloves, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

    3

    Cut 500 grams of chicken breast into bite-sized cubes and add them to the marinade. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated.

    4

    Cover the marinated chicken and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes (longer if possible, up to 2 hours for more flavor).

    5

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.

    6

    Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers.

    7

    Grill the chicken skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are fully cooked and have a nice char.

    8

    Serve hot with your choice of dips, salad, or pita bread.

How to be creative
  • Marinate the chicken with different spices like cumin or coriander for a flavor twist.
  • Serve the kebabs with a homemade tzatziki sauce for added freshness.
  • Add colorful bell peppers and onions to the skewers for extra flavor and presentation.
Important Tips
  • For extra tender chicken, marinate for a longer period, ideally overnight.
  • Make sure to preheat your grill before cooking the kebabs to achieve a good sear.
  • Serve with lemon wedges for added brightness.
