Cut the chicken breasts into small, slightly larger than bite-size pieces.

In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, oregano, cayenne, salt, cumin, and tomato paste.

Add the plain yogurt to the bowl and mix well with the spices.

Transfer the chicken cubes to the bowl with the marinade.

Stir all the ingredients thoroughly, ensuring that the chicken pieces are evenly coated with the marinade.

Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours for maximum flavor infusion.

Preheat a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.

Remove the marinated chicken cubes from the fridge and thread them onto skewers.

Heat a cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat and drizzle 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Cook the chicken skewers for approximately 8-10 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are cooked and slightly charred.

Enjoy the grilled chicken skewers as they are, or alternatively, remove the chicken from the skewers and savor it that way. Optionally, pair them with your preferred keto sauce.
