Ingredients
For the Skewers
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon ground coriander
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
- 2/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
For the Lemony Dipping Sauce
- 1 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic pressed
Instructions
- Thread the chicken pieces onto metal skewers.* Combine all of the spices in a small bowl, then spread evenly onto a flat surface. Roll the skewers in the spice mixture until evenly coated.
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Spray the pan with olive oil, then cook the skewers for 2 minutes per side, 8 minutes total, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Whisk the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl. Serve the skewers with a side of dipping sauce.

Notes
- *If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to use to avoid scorching.
- To store your Chicken Kabobs leftovers, place them in an airtight container, or wrap them tightly in foil, and refrigerate for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the cooked skewers in a freezer-safe container or wrapped in foil for up to 2 months.
- To reheat, thaw overnight in the fridge if frozen, then warm in a grill pan or microwave until heated through. For best results, avoid overcooking during reheating to keep the chicken tender.
