Uniform chicken cubes cook evenly on skewers. If cooking vegetables too, separate skewers let each ingredient finish at its own pace.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb boneless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/3 cup plain yogurt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 8 skewers
Method
- Mix yogurt, oil, lemon, garlic, spices and salt. Add chicken and marinate refrigerated 1–4 hours. Soak wooden skewers in water if using.
- Thread chicken with a little space between pieces. Preheat grill to medium-high and oil the grates.
- Grill about 10–15 minutes, turning regularly. Check several pieces with a thermometer and cook until each reaches 165°F.
- Transfer with clean utensils to a clean plate and rest briefly. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
A better result
A skewer can hide a thicker piece among smaller ones. Check the largest cubes, not just a browned outer surface.
Serve it together
Serve with couscous and salad. Order chicken kebabs to make an outdoor gathering easier to manage.
