Shish Tawook Skewers with Garlic Yogurt

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Chicken breast
• 0.5 cup Yogurt
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 0.5 tsp Cumin
• 0.25 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 medium bowl, combine the 0.5 cup yogurt, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 3 cloves minced garlic, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp paprika, 0.5 tsp cumin, 0.25 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Add the 1.5 lbs of chicken cubes to this mixture and stir to coat them evenly. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
3. 3Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers, leaving a small space between each piece.
4. 4Preheat your grill to medium heat, about 350-400°F (175-200°C).
5. 5Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a golden-brown color. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
6. 6While the chicken is grilling, prepare the garlic yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 0.5 cup yogurt with 1 clove of minced garlic. Stir well.
7. 7Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve the Shish Tawook skewers with the prepared garlic yogurt sauce.
