- 2 lbs chicken breast, cut into chunks
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lemon, juice and zest
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Wooden or metal skewers
In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice and zest, olive oil, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until smooth.
Add the chicken chunks to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Preheat the grill to medium-high. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, discarding any leftover marinade.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 7-10 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve hot, garnished with lemon slices or fresh herbs, and enjoy the burst of flavors!
