Amazing chicken skewers my mom used to make when I was younger. These are great fresh of the grill and even better reheated. I love to meal prep this and take with me to work.
Ingredients
Sauce
- 2 cups whole-milk Greek yogurt
- ½ cup fresh lemon juice
- ¼ cup finely chopped mint leaves
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 green bell peppers, cut into cubes
- 1 small red onion, cut into 8 wedges
- bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup chopped fresh mint leaves
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 4 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes
Directions
Step 1
Whisk olive oil, 1/4 cup mint, cilantro, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, honey, 1 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 cloves garlic, paprika, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and cayenne in a large bowl. Reserve 1/4 cup marinade in a separate bowl.
Step 2
Place chicken in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade over chicken. Press air out of the bag and seal tightly. Turn the bag to distribute the marinade. Place in a bowl and refrigerate for 5 hours.
Step 3
Whisk yogurt, 1/2 cup lemon juice, 1/4 cup mint, 2 cloves garlic, lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon salt together in a bowl to make sauce. Cover and place in the refrigerator.
Step 4
Toss green bell peppers and red onion in the reserved 1/4 cup marinade. Remove chicken from the bag and discard all marinade. Thread chicken, peppers, and onion alternately onto skewers.
Step 5
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Arrange skewers on the grill. Close lid and cook, turning once or twice, until chicken is firm to the touch, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from grill and let stand for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with cold sauce.
