Ingredients

  • 500 g boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon plain yogurt

Instructions

  3. Thread chicken onto skewers, alternating with bell pepper and onion.
  4. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs for a juicier result.
  • Add chili flakes or cayenne for extra heat.
  • Try vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms for variation.
  • Soak wooden skewers in water before use to prevent burning.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently to avoid drying out the chicken.
