Step 1
Cut chicken into 1.5-inch cubes. Mix yogurt, lemon zest, paprika, cumin, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
Step 2
Add chicken to marinade, stir to coat, and let sit 5 minutes while you cut peppers and onion into chunks.
Step 3
Thread chicken, peppers, and onion onto skewers, alternating. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering.
Step 4
Sear skewers 90 seconds per side without moving until charred and opaque throughout, ~6 minutes total.
