🥗Healthier: parsley

💰Cheaper: green onions

Parsley is a nutritious alternative, and green onions can be more budget-friendly.

Cut the chicken thighs into bite-size pieces using a chef's knife.

Transfer the cut chicken into a large bowl.

Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Add 1/2 cup of plain yogurt to the chicken.

Add 4 cloves of minced garlic to the mixture.

Add 1 teaspoon of onion powder.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of ginger powder.

Add 2 teaspoons of paprika.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric.

Add 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley.

Add 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped thyme.

Season with 2 teaspoons of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

Mix everything together well to ensure the marinade coats every piece of chicken.

Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour (or overnight if possible).

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 20 minutes to prevent burning.

Prepare a rack over a baking pan for baking the chicken.

Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, ensuring they are spaced apart and not dangling off.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

Roast the chicken skewers in the oven for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, flip the chicken skewers over and roast for an additional 5 minutes.

Turn the oven to broil and broil the chicken skewers for 1-2 minutes until crispy on the outside.
