Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 lbs chicken breast, cut into equal-sized cubes
Marinade
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into uniform cubes to ensure even cooking throughout.
- Make the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the plain yogurt, minced garlic, paprika, olive oil, and salt until well blended.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, making sure each piece is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate and the chicken to tenderize.
- Skewer the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken pieces evenly onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
- Grill the Skewers: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally for even grilling.
- Rest and Serve: Let the skewers rest briefly after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute before serving hot.
Notes
- The yogurt marinade not only adds flavor but helps keep the chicken moist and tender during grilling.
- Use wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.
- Adjust paprika amount according to your preferred spice level.
- Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
