How to Make Spicy Yogurt Chicken
- Cut 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Add the chicken cubes to the yogurt mixture, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
- Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers. (If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to prevent burning).
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat or oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Grill the skewers for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Alternatively, bake the skewers in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until cooked through.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley before serving. Enjoy!
