Greek Yogurt Chicken Skewers

Greek Chicken Kabobs

This is one of my favorite meals. The great thing about it is that you can do all the dinner prep hours…or a day before. And then just cook it in about 12 minutes on the grill and look like you are a culinary genius.

1 cup whole milk Greek yogurt

4 garlic cloves, I used jarred minced

1 tsp. paprika

1 tsp. ground cumin

1/2 cup sweet onion, grated with a box-grater

Zest from 1 lemon

2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

2 Tbsp. olive oil

1/2 cup chopped cilantro

2 tsp. kosher salt

1/2 tsp. black pepper

2 lbs. boneless, skinless, chicken thighs, cut into strips

Mix it up, put in the chicken and coat. Let rest a couple hour or overnight.

Put on skewers and grill about 5 minutes each side on a medium high heat. As you can see in the photo, I like some wood chips smoking in the grill. Do not overcook, just go light on the grill, 5 minutes a side should be fine. Your goal is moist, flavorful chicken. Not a hard crust.

That’s it. Great flavor, almost no effort. I serve this with my cucumber salad I wrote up earlier. If had rice in my diet, I would serve this with my saffron rice.
