Ingredients
  

Marinade & Chicken

  • 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
  • 4 cloves Garlic peeled and grated on a microplane, or finely minced
  • 1.5 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Honey
  • 1.75 tablespoon Lemon juice About half of 1 lemon
  • 1.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika Smoked paprika may be substituted for smokier flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Salt or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper or to taste
  • 0.5 teaspoon Dried rosemary or more to taste if desired
  • 1.75 pounds Boneless skinless chicken breasts Cut into 1-inch cubes

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • To a large bowl, add the Greek yogurt, garlic, oil, honey, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, salt, pepper, rosemary, and whisk to combine to create the chicken marinade. Adjust seasonings as desired.
  • Add the diced chicken pieces to the bowl, toss well, cover tightly with foil or plastic wrap, and place bowl in the fridge to marinate for a minimum of 30-60 minutes, up to 8 hours. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes.
  • After marinating, thread the chicken on skewers, leaving a small space between pieces (do not compress or overly compact).
  • When ready to cook, discard the remaining marinade. Chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 160F, then let it rest for 5-10 minutes until it reaches 165F.
  • For Grilling (outdoors): Oil the grill grates and preheat to medium-high heat. Grill skewers for approximately 3-4 minutes per side until cooked through.
  • For Grill Pan (indoors): Preheat a grill pan over medium-high to high heat. Cook skewers for approximately 5 minutes, flip, and cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until done.
  • For Oven Baking: Preheat oven to 400F. Place a grill rack over a parchment-lined baking sheet. Arrange skewers on the rack and bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping midway, until lightly charred.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve with tzatziki sauce, pita bread, or over a salad.

Notes

Serve immediately with optional tzatziki sauce, fresh dill, parsley, or mint for garnish. These are excellent served over salad or with warm pita bread.
