Middle Eastern Chicken Kebabs


















A little bit of planning for this one; as need to marinate for at least 8 hours. onceuponachef.com Jenn specifies chicken thighs instead of breasts; as lemon juice makes breasts tough... I stuck to the recipe, but did firm up to skewers in a 375-degree oven for 6 minutes. Makes easier handling to place on the grill.

Ingredients:

  • 1 small plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoon paprika 
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • zest from one lemon
  • 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 5 minced garlic cloves
  • 2 1/2 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs ( cut for skewers)
Directions:
Combine all the ingredients except chicken in a bowl.

Thread chicken on skewers. You will need 6-8 skewers.

Line a large baking pan with foil and parchment paper and place skewers on top. Spoon marinate all over meat, coating well. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 375-degree and bake for 6 minutes.

Finish skewers on the grill over medium-high heat. Be sure to brush the grate with oil to prevent sticking. Grill until golden brown, turning occasionally. About 10 minutes.
