This delicious chicken recipe is packed with flavour. Its tender and juicy and has just the right combination of garlic and lemon.

Ingredients

• 1 kilo boneless skinless chicken breast cut into cubes
• ½ cup plain greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup lemon juice
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 8 garlic cloves crushed
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon powder
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, add the ingredients for the marinade (yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, tomato paste, all the seasoning and salt/pepper) and mix to combine.
2. Place the chicken cubes in the same bowl and coat the chicken in the marinade. Cover, and let rest/marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours, if not overnight.
3. Thread the chicken on skewers right before grilling. Add one wedge of onion, or a button mushroom or a piece of capsicum to each skewer, if desired.
4. Grill on medium heat for 5-8 minutes per side.
5. Serve with arabic bread, hommos and garlic sauce, if desired. Also goes great with a fattoush salad.

Notes

If you have any leftovers, the grilled chicken is great in sandwiches the next day.
