Ingredients:
- 500g boneless chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Skewers
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Start by cutting the boneless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a bowl and set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Marinade
In another bowl, mix together the yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, coriander, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well combined.
Step 3: Marinate the Chicken
Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to infuse into the chicken.
Step 4: Skewering the Chicken
Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Soak the skewers in water for about 30 minutes to prevent them from burning. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece.
Step 5: Grill or Bake the Kebabs
If grilling, place the chicken kebabs on the preheated grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred. If baking, arrange the skewers on a lined baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Once cooked, remove the chicken kebabs from the grill or oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve the kebabs with your favorite sides, such as pita bread, tzatziki sauce, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
