Step 1
Combine yogurt, lemon juice, zest, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken cubes and toss to coat evenly.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Thread chicken cubes onto metal or soaked wooden skewers, leaving tiny gaps between pieces for even browning.
Step 4
Place skewers in the skillet without crowding; sear 3 minutes per side until edges char and meat is cooked through (165°F internal).
Step 5
Whisk tahini with 3 tbsp warm water, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until creamy; drizzle over hot skewers.
Step 6
Serve with warm pita, sliced tomatoes, and fresh parsley.
