For the Chicken Skewers
  • 500 g chicken breast cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper optional

Equipment

  • Grill
  • Skewers
  • Bowl

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, combine chicken cubes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  2. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Grill the chicken skewers for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred.
  5. While the chicken is grilling, prepare the garlic yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, mix together plain yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped mint, and salt.
  6. Serve the smoky chicken skewers immediately with the garlic yogurt sauce on the side.

Notes

You can soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before use to prevent burning.
