Description
A delightful recipe for Chicken Skewers served with a refreshing yogurt and mint sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 wooden or metal skewers
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken cubes, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
- Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
- Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
- While the chicken is grilling, prepare the yogurt and mint sauce by mixing together the Greek yogurt, chopped mint, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
- Once the chicken skewers are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve with the yogurt and mint sauce on the side.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the chicken in the spice mixture for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
- You can customize the skewers by adding vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or zucchini between the chicken pieces for a colorful and nutritious addition.
