Shish Taouk (Grilled Chicken Skewers)

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Chicken breast
• 1/2 cup Plain Coconut Yogurt (unsweetened)
• 3 tbsp Lemon juice
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1 tbsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 1 tsp Oregano
• 1/2 tsp Turmeric
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper

Instructions

1. 1Cut the 1.5 lbs of chicken breast into 1-inch cubes.
2. 2In a bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup of plain coconut yogurt, 3 tbsp of lemon juice, 2 tbsp of olive oil, the 4 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tbsp of paprika, 1 tsp of cumin, 1 tsp of oregano, 1/2 tsp of turmeric, 1 tsp of salt, and 0.5 tsp of black pepper until well combined.
3. 3Add the 1-inch cubes of chicken to the marinade and toss them until every piece is coated. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight, to allow the chicken to marinate.
4. 4Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, aiming for a temperature between 400°F (200°C) and 450°F (230°C).
5. 5Thread the marinated chicken cubes evenly onto skewers, leaving a small space between each piece.
6. 6Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning them every few minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and has developed a slightly charred exterior. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
7. 7Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving hot.
