Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Pinch of pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 pound boneless skinless chicken breast cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 medium yellow onion cut into chunks.
for the mint yogurt dip:
- 1/2 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt for paleo
- 1/4 cup cucumber grated
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh garlic minced
- Pinch of pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint roughly chopped, plus additional mint for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl combine the tomato paste, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, cumin powder, garlic, cinnamon and olive oil. Mix well.
- Add in the cut up chicken and stir to coat. The mixture is very thick, and I found it much easier to use my hands to really rub the tomato paste mixture all over the chicken. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours - overnight (the longer the better!)
- Preheat your grill to medium heat and lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Using sharp skewers sticks alternate between pieces of chicken and onion, piercing each piece and sliding it to the end, building a "stack" of skewered ingredients as you go.
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook until no longer pink inside, about 12 minutes, turning every 3 minutes so you cook the chicken on each side.
- While the chicken cooks, place the grated cucumber into a kitchen towel and ring out the excess water.
- Add the cucumber, and all the other sauce ingredients, into a medium food processor and blend until smooth, well mixed, and the mint gets broken down.
- Garnish the skewers with fresh mint and serve with yogurt sauce.
- DEVOUR.
