How to Make Chicken Kebabs

chicken breast

🥗Healthier: chicken thighs

💰Cheaper: pork

Thighs are juicier and cheaper than breast.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point.

yogurt

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt adds creaminess with fewer calories.

pita bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain pita

💰Cheaper: tortillas

Whole grain pita is more nutritious.

In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, minced garlic, and lemon zest.

Add olive oil and lemon juice to the bowl.

Add salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, cinnamon, paprika, and cumin, then whisk until well combined.

Generously coat the chicken with the marinade, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

If using wooden skewers, soak them for at least 30 minutes before using.

Thread the marinated chicken and red onion onto the skewers.

Place the skewers on a wire rack.

Cook the kebabs on an outdoor grill or an indoor grill pan preheated to 350 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes.
