Step 1
Cut the 1.5 lb chicken breast into 1-inch cubes. In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup yogurt, juice of 1 lemon, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp paprika, and 1 tsp salt. Add chicken, coat well, and let marinate for 10 minutes.
Step 2
While chicken marinates, cut 2 bell peppers and 1 zucchini into 1-inch pieces. Thread chicken and vegetables alternately onto skewers, pressing snugly.
Step 3
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high. Brush skewers with 1 tbsp olive oil and grill, turning every 3-4 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and charred at edges, about 12-15 minutes total.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix remaining 1/2 cup yogurt with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon to make the sauce.
Step 5
Serve skewers over 2 cups cooked rice, drizzle with yogurt sauce, and add any extra grilled vegetables on the side.
