Spicy Yogurt-Marinated Chicken Skewers

Submitted by zeldaz51

"Adapted from a recipe from Tasting Table, similar to a chicken tandoori. Marinate them all day or overnight, cook on a grill, grill pan, or under the broiler. They are not overly spicy, as the yogurt tempers the harissa."

 

• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 3⁄4 cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt
• 1 lemon, zested and juiced
• 1 tablespoon harissa
• 2 -3 large garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• fresh ground black pepper
• 1 1⁄2 - 2 lbs boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes

directions

1. Whisk all the ingredients except the chicken together to combine thoroughly. Add to the cubed chicken in a ziploc bag, seal, and knead the bag to coat the pieces of chicken. Refrigerate 8 hours.
2. To cook, remove the chicken pieces from the marinade and thread them onto soaked skewers. Cook the skewers on a grill pan, grill, or under a broiler on medium-high heat until browned and grill-marked, about 4 to 5 minutes each side, cooking in batches if necessary.
3. Before serving, sprinkle with more salt, some minced chives, and serve with extra lemon wedges.
