Method

  1. 1 Cut the chicken into equal 3 cm cubes so that each piece cooks evenly.
  2. 2 Mix yogurt with tomato sauce, crushed garlic, chili powder, lemon juice, and olive oil.
  3. 3 Marinate the chicken in the yogurt mixture for 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  4. 4 Yogurt tenderizes meat with its lactic acid, so there's no need to add vinegar or alcohol.
  5. 5 Skewer the chicken pieces alternately with onions, then scrape off excess marinade to prevent the skewers from boiling on the grill.
  6. 6 Grill on a hot griddle for 12 minutes, turning four times, then serve on toasted pita bread.
