Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs (cut into small chunks)
- 1 cup red onion and bell pepper
- 1 cup plain yogurt (2% or full fat)
- 6 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tsp oregano (dried)
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- garlic turmeric rice (to serve)
- fresh parsley, lemon, and/or yogurt sauce (to serve)
Instructions
- Combine: Combine all marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Add chicken and vegetables if using, and toss until they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
- Prepare: Preheat the oven to 450°F (or 230°C). Prepare a baking tray by lining it with aluminum foil or any broiler-safe material.
- Bake: Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables onto a set of metal skewers, and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature registers 165°F (or 74°C).
- Broil: Switch the oven to broil and cook for another 2-3 minutes for a lightly charred finish. Garnish and serve with your preferred sides dishes.
Notes
Grilling instructions: preheat, grease, and grill the kabobs until golden brown, turning skewers occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes or until the internal temperature registers 165°F (or 74°C). If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least half an hour before using them to protect them from burning in the oven.
