chicken
🥗Healthier: turkey
💰Cheaper: chicken thighs
Turkey is leaner, while chicken thighs are more budget-friendly.
yogurt
🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt
💰Cheaper: sour cream
Greek yogurt is higher in protein, while sour cream is often cheaper.
Cube the chicken thighs into pieces.
In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, juice of 1 lemon, 5 cloves of garlic (pressed), 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon ground coriander, 1 tablespoon ground cumin, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon coarse black pepper, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt to create the marinade.
Mix the marinade thoroughly with gloved hands.
Cover the bowl with Saran Wrap and refrigerate for 4 to 5 hours (or overnight for better flavor).
Prepare the garlic sauce by combining 1 cup Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 tablespoon parsley, 1 tablespoon white vinegar, and 3 tablespoons milk in a bowl.
Squeeze in the juice of 1/2 lime and add pressed garlic to the sauce mixture.
Mix the garlic sauce well and refrigerate until ready to use.
After marinating, soak skewers in water for about 30 minutes.
Skewer the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked sticks.
Preheat the Monument grill to 475°F.
Grill the chicken skewers on the grill, flipping occasionally to build char, for about 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches above 165°F.
Serve the grilled chicken with turmeric rice, garlic sauce, and naan.
