Chicken Skewers with Marinade

Step 1

Cut the 1.5 lb chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and place in a bowl.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix 0.5 cup yogurt, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.

Step 4

Thread the chicken onto skewers, dividing evenly. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes first.

Step 5

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F).

Step 6

Let rest for 2 minutes before serving. Optionally, sprinkle with fresh herbs or extra lemon juice.
