Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds skinless boneless chicken breast or thighs (cut into 1 inch cubes)
  • 3/4 cup plain low fat plain Stonyfield yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped cucumber (peeled and seeded)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons dried za’atar or oregano
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped)
  • 1 clove crushed garlic
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh mint (chopped)
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
  • fresh black pepper (to taste)
  • lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Mix lemon juice, olive oil, za’atar, garlic, salt, and pepper together. Put chicken in a zip-locked bag and pour marinade over it. Marinate the chicken at least 2-3 hours or as long as overnight.
  2. If using wooden skewers, soak in water at least 30 minutes if grilling outdoors (I usually double them up so they are easier to turn).
  3. Prepare the yogurt sauce by combining the ingredients in a medium bowl. Refrigerate until ready to eat.
  4. Thread chicken onto the skewers. You should have 4 kabobs total.
  5. Preheat the grill over medium heat, oil the grates and cook (indoor or outdoor grill works fine) until the chicken is cooked though, turning often about 12 to 15 minutes.
  6. Serve with lemon wedges and yogurt sauce.
