Chicken Shish Kebabs
Ingredients
- 500g boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into bite sized pieces
- 2 heaped tablespoons greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 plump cloves crushed garlic
- 1/2 tsp salt
- pinch black pepper
Preparation
Put the chicken pieces and all the other ingredients in a mixing bowl
Mix well, cover and put in the fridge to marinate for at least 8 hours
Take the chicken out of the fridge for 30 mins
If you’re using wooden skewers put them to soak in water now too
Roughly divide the chicken so you can put half on each skewer
Thread each piece of chicken onto the skewer at the pointy end
Your chicken pieces won’t all be exactly square so make sure to distribute the weight as you put them on or you might get a broken skewer
Grill or griddle the skewers on high for 8 mins, turning every couple of mins to ensure even cooking, you should have a nice char
Nb - have a quick check of the middle of one of the kebabs to ensure they’re cooked through before serving
Serve with flatbreads, salad and your favourite sauces
