  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1 tsp cumin

  • 1 tsp salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • 1 cup plain yogurt

  • Juice of 1 lemon

  • 2 tbsp fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro), chopped

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

  • Cut chicken into bite-sized cubes and add to the marinade. Stir to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

  • Thread marinated chicken onto skewers, leaving slight space between each piece.

  • Grill the skewers for 10–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through (165°F internal temperature).

  • Meanwhile, mix plain yogurt, lemon juice, chopped herbs, a pinch of salt, and pepper in a small bowl to make the dip.

  • Serve grilled chicken skewers with the yogurt dip on the side.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add cayenne pepper to the marinade.

  • Swap lemon for lime juice for a citrus twist.

  • For a dairy-free dip, use coconut yogurt.

  • To bake instead of grill, cook at 425°F for 20–25 minutes, turning halfway.
